Will they grade at PCGS? If so what grade in your opinion.

But, since I do not collect these little widgets I really have no clue.

Tough to grade thru that toning, but I like both of them for full bands.
I don't think the top coin will grade due to the hairline scratches on the neck. The bottom one should grade 63FB with that major hit below the eye. I would not send either in for grading.
What is going on along the neck of the first coin? Perhaps the light caught the marks the "wrong" way, but they appear excessive.

At the bottom of her neck is a die crack. Out in the field above AW is Die Polish. The neck does have 1 slide mark. It has Great Luster and so does the second dime.

Where's the D!
Later, Paul.
I think both are 63FB.

63FB, 64FB
Both for me,at least on the obverses, have a certain rusty/rustic appeal. But I'm partial. Mercs. are my favorite series.
Both look FB.... the second one could go 60-62..... hard to pin down due to tarnish and one dimensional picture. The first one, well... if those are die polish and a crack... could go 62-63.... no apparent luster, although I know you say it is there.... I would not send them in, however, it will be interesting if you do. Cheers, RickO
Another picture of the first dimes obverse. Tons of Die Polish and 2 Die Cracks. The cheek and neck both appear to have raised metal on them. After looking closely its sort of a weird dime on the obverse.
Anythings possible, however both look like nice Dansco album candidates.
58FB
62FB

In hand they may be nice, but going by the pics......they are not for me. Sorry Ken.
