Please Grade These Low End 1797 Large Cents.

Large Cents are not my thing. I keep these two around because of their age, no graffiti, & no rim dings to speak of, not cleaned. Frustrating thing about these older LC's, most have porosity/corroded & I can't assign a value to them, because I'm never quite sure what to net grade them. I wish there was some kind of pricing based on mild/moderate/heavy porosity.

Anyway, coin on the left is Reverse of 1797, moderate corrosion (FINE details). Coin on the right is Gripped Edge. No corrosion to speak of. Planchet may be slightly porous, fairly confident going AG-3 on it. Thanks in advance for your grading opinions!
