The Lincoln is AU-55.
I'm not good at Kens, but I'll guess MS-67.

That Kennedy is wonderful looking great strike, no distracting marks, brilliant luster; I'll say MS-67 AU-55 for the LWC |

As for the kennedy, looks to me at least MS-67. I have a 2008 Kennedy certified by PCGS as MS-67, so when I get home, I can compare and give you a more definitive answer.

It is almost impossible to extract unmarked perfect coins from from circulation. In these conditions, they are very rare; you are very fortunate. I have never seen a coin in this high condition extracted from circulation. What very greatly dilutes the rarity of such coins is that the Mint makes uncirculated packaged coins for the collector market.
All the mint has to do is to take much better care to ensure that the packaged collector coins are undamaged from the moment they have been struck.

I compared your coin to my PCGS certified MS-67 kennedy and they compare very favorably. I would say this is at least a MS-67 coin.

with the weak pluribus, nick in front of Abe, and various spots/color I wouldn't go above vf. I agree with 67, nice coin.

I would grade the cent at EF 45. I guess I am the only one here who does see a contact mark on the cheek of the Kennedy just behind the mouth. It looks pretty faint but I believe that would keep it at 64 with an outside shot at 65. Sorry to be the "voice of negativity", Bob

it takes more than one mark to make a coin a MS-64, heck I have a MS-67 Morgan that has a hit on it
