They both look like nice VF.

That's good mate as i paid F money for them .. which i could not understand as the person i was bidding against on the USA stuff was paying XF prices on cleaned Bust Halves ?? go figure !!

I would guess VF-30 and VF-35 respectively.

I don't know, guys...according to my *&@#&^&$$@%^#%^ grading books, I'm liking 30 for the first and 35 for the second...maybe a tad higher. Is that a die crack on the obverse of the 1917s by the IB in LIBERTY?

I think that 17-S actually has a shot at XF...depends how much they consider deductions for the ticks/nicks....the wear is along the lines of an XF coin..full shield rings and rivets and what was probably originally a Fully Struck Head..

 

the 17-S is a nice quality 7070 coin..I like it alot, however I'd like a bit more "skin" on my 90+ y/o coins..
