How would it be graded?

Hi everybody!
I’m a coin collector from Europe and recently discovered the US coins.
And I love it - so many nice coins, stories and history from your great country.
But grading coins in Holder like PCGS or others is not very common in Europe and so I wonder how would the both half Dollar I bought be classified if the where graded in US.

Sorry for my bad English I hope you can understand the question.
I would be very happy to receive suggestions.

    Welcome, the Stone Mountain looks to have very limited or no luster so I'd say not better than AU50 from the photos. The Monroe looks like a nice MS64 or MS65. Both are great commemorative coins so enjoy them and best of luck on your U.S. coin collection.

    @wayfarer....Welcome aboard....Your English is fine, perfectly understood. I would grade the first as AU50 and the second as MS62 or 63...Cheers, RickO

    Stone Mtn half could grade MS63... I had one that look similar with darker toning that graded MS64.
    MS63 also for the Monroe half...
