opinions on these 2 nickels 1950 D and 1945 S War Nickel

Found these in the bottom of my box of coins. Do not remember when or where I got them.
So what do you think? What would you value these at?

    Very weak reverse on the 50-d, so I'd say a 63 at best.
    The War Nickel appears to be better struck on the obverse but it too has the weak reverse, MS64

    No steps on either.
    Nice, fun and inexpensive coins to own!

    PS: is the 50d still the key?

    I'll guess MS62 - 63 on the 50D and MS65 on the 45S (as long as there isn't anything being hidden by the toning).

    I like the look of the 45S... How much?

    image but like Type2 I've got spanked pretty hard on the last couple submissions and a 64 on this one wouldn't surprise me...
    If you can't swim you better stay in the boat.......

    Id say 64 for both.

    The '50-D looks like an AU58 to me, the luster looks a bit off on the high points of the portrait (cheek, jaw and hairline) which to me indicates a little rub. The '45-S appears to be uncirculated but very weakly struck, which would limit it to a 63, or maybe a 64 if the luster is booming. Nice album coins for sure, but not something I'd ever send off to a TPG.

    Incomplete planchets wanted, especially Lincoln Cents & type coins.
