    au58

    i say 58 because i see a lot of luster left on that coin.
    very eye appealing from the picture.

    My reaction was AU50, due to how extensively wear is present in the fields.
    When in doubt, don't.

    looks like very old "harsh" cleaning marks in the field.

    The old tooth brush and tooth powder trick from days gone by.

    Heres a hint:

    The marks you see in the fields aren't evidence of wear, and they aren't 'the old tooth brush and tooth powder trick' either. Those are die polishing lines. The color is original and the luster is complete. Its MS. The question is what number?

    By the way, the second coin was called 'unc.' in the stack's sale.

    MS without question... 62-63 range and quite attractive.

    Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.

    I'm not sure if I'm comparing apples to passion fruit but....the Ford coin is an uncirculated contemporary counterfeit. It was listed as "uncirculated" in Ford XIII. I haven't found an example of your coin yet, but it's different from the Ford coin. I can't even try to give it a grade without further study.
