The first coin appears to be mint state but it's very baggy so I'll guess MS60.
The second coin looks like an AU58.

The 69 is a better date

Agree but when it comes to assigning a grade it shouldn't matter.

I agree with the MS60 and AU58...Cheers, RickO
Nice coins and pics.
I like that 1869
the obverse field on the 1869 in front of the portrait looks cleaned or whizzed
after looking at many of your posts on your type set, I am afraid that half will get 'details' from cleaning / surface alteration
Very strange reverse fields on the 1907....
Well, just Love coins, period.
Looks somewhat like the 1910 Indian $10 in the other thread.
Agree, didn't mean to suggest that it would. It's not a 1804 $1.

From the pic of the 1869 it looks as if the left obverse fields have been smoothed/tooled to minimize bagmarks.
The Saint looks funky to me too.
60/55. As others have said there may be issues which would preclude a straight-grade.
One or the other probably AU details. Raw coins are risky when you are talking about money grades.
Although eagles are described as a group of endothermic vertebrates constituting the class Aves, characterized by feathers, toothless beaked jaws, the laying of hard-shelled eggs, a high metabolic rate, a four-chambered heart, and a strong yet lightweight skeleton, your two double eagles are much more than that!
The ‘69 looks like AU58 deets, but might go AU-55 due to scruffy cheek/ baggy reverse. The Saint might not straight grade... AU details, but fields look somewhat pebbly, particularly in the reverse image.
