So how would you grade these two guys (and keep in mind that often Britannia's torso is often weakly struck)? I am thinking that each may be VF.

The dark toning and dirt are hidding some of the detail on the 1907, but from what I can tell I would grade this coin at least EF-45.

The 1930 I would grade at VF-30.

echizento- Thanks for the input! Honestly, I think that the 1907 probably is around VF30 as well. I was able to gently wipe a little of the green grime off of it, and so it looks a bit better but it still is probably not quite in the EF range.

Couldn't tell much from the obverse, but the reverse looked in the EF range and I was taking in account that the very dark toning was hiding the detail on the bust.
