Here are two Indian Head cents that I picked up at a coin show over the weekend. How would you grade them?

One of my favorite coins!
AU58
AU53
The 1897 looks to be struck thru metal. I've seen this before on IHC's.
Nice!

Thanks for your opinions. I definitely agree that the 1907 is in VF even though the seller had it marked as EF. I am curious as to where you are seeing the wear on the 1897 coin? I'm not doubting you - I'm just trying to learn. I'm new to Indian Head cents.

I am no expert, but I look at the hair over the ear for the first signs of wear.

I think AU58+ and VF30+ Both just miss the next level.

I'm also looking at the curl right behind the ribbon on the obverse.

Looks like very slight wear (i.e. high AU) to me.
