Photos are way too small for a serious assessment.

That said - I offer that both are circulated likely in the VF range.

The 1923 coin appears to have rim damage issues that might detail it.

The 1928 Philly mint example is a key date for the series and likely worth a few hundred $ in this condition if the surfaces are original.

What is meant by original services?
Both coins were collected by a paper boy around 1938.

The second coin looks a legit 1928 but the first coin looks like an altered date from a 1923 coin. Better pics needed to assess properly.

Lighting is tough. The shadowing makes the 1928 look like a 1923, but they are both are 1928.

I think maybe AU-50 for the first and XF-40 for the second. Those are bad photos though.

Nice - 2 1928 Peace dollars. A rarer key date!

Well Paper Boys started in the 1930's and "Papers" cost a nickel - so for someone to give them a dollar is crazy. You would most likely have to provide proof of that to add to their prominence.

AU-50 on the first one. EF-45 on the second. Both look original surfaces, uncleaned.

As long as there are no hairlines on the surfaces (kinda hard to tell based on pics provided) I agree AU and EF.

made a good choice to hang on to these. I filled in a lot of slots in my collections from papers back in the early to mid-60's nothing as good as these

I'm with AU50 and XF45 as well.

here's the rub. the XF $250-275 range and the AU50 around $300 range retail. unless you have a subscription to a grading service the costs to grade could chew up a lot of value. if they were mine, i'd hang onto them. I did see a PCGS XF45 sale for $436 on 8-15 and one AU50 that was less than $350 and one in July that sold for $182 so they are all over the place in price. if you keep them I would not spend the $$ to slab them, if you wanted to sell them I would have them graded. I might consider ANACS over PCGS as the grading costs are less and right now PCGS grading services are not the most accurate based on what we have seen here

PCGS charges a minimum of $69 for a subscription other subscription levels include grading vouchers though so you could reduce these costs. add to the subscription cost, per coin grading cost which I think for these might be $23rach, shipping & ins both ways (1-4 coins is $27 if the total value is under $1000)
