Both have some surface issues, but look to have details around XF 40 (the first may be higher grade, technically, but the weak strike holds it back).

 

Id rather not grade the first one, it looks cleaned to me. The second, Id say XF40

 

I don't know about the first. I would guess that it has been cleaned. If not, it may be AU but weakly struck. Either way, it is badly corroded. The second one does not appear to have much for issues. It is XF and looks to be a 45 to me.

 

I dont think it was cleaned, most of these coins came out of an 1920's childs piggy bank, they locked type.

 

Maybe that explains why so many are corroded.

 

xf 40 on both

 

YOu know, looking at the first coin again, I'll bet that's an AU details coin with a very weak strike.

You guys can call me crazy (woudln't be the first time ), but I think I see some mellowed red and luster on that one....

Sherri, Can you confirm? Also, are you using a scanner (as I suspect)? Thanks...Mike

 

Xf-40

Yes Leadfoot I am using a scanner I keep everything as normal as possible and yes there is nice luster on the coin mostly at the edges, its a good looking coin.

 

you just convinced me to get another scanner. The old one broke on the move to the new house.

man you got awesome coins

 

This scanner is about 4 years old its a hp scanjet 4600 works quite well. I like it alot.
