I'd probably call them both 67 FSB. I'm assuming the luster on the first one is stronger than it appears (if not, if it is dull, then I'd call it a 65+). I'm also assuming the mark on the neck of the 43S is toning, and not an actual mark - if it is a mark, that will kill the grade.

I would grade the 1935 MS-66, Full Bans. The luster is too muted to grade any higher.

 

The 1943-S would grade MS-64 Full Bans with a shot at MS-65. That long mark on Ms. Liberty's neck is a deal buster. If that mark was no there, the coin would make MS-65, maybe MS-66 because of the luster. If you had that type of luster on the 1935, it could make MS-67, but it's not there, and dipping would only dull the coin more.

64, even being a slider I think it will MS. As grip said, it might just be lighting on that.

Sent the 1943-S in for grading. It came back as MS65 FB. Cert.# 2607843-007

Will add new pictures when I get the coin back from NGC.

43-S looks a half a point to a point undergraded to me
