Unfortunately, photos are not going to change the condition on either. Value-wise, I agree with TomB on the 50C, but this in no way means that someone will not eagerly pay more for it. The 1C is what it is; a cleaned VF example, but again, there are always willing buyers for such coins if they believe the price is right.
I still don't like either of them, but you are free to ignore what I like or don't like and to buy coins that please your sense of aesthetics.
