Sorry to hear that rhoggman. Scans suck. However if there's a silver lining here, you now know what to look for going forward. Over time,...
I find this series very hard to grade, personally. That said, I'll guess AU and XF, respectively.
While I tend to agree that wear is wear -- it all depends on who is doing the grading as to what effect it has.
p.p.s. common sense would dictate that we trust the two people who have actually seen the coin -- PCGS and Bud. ;)

p.s. still think it looks like a 64 because of the hit/stain on the left obverse field.
I think that some are (again) confusing toning with wear -- and it is almost always difficult to distinguish between the two using only a single...
