Small?
MS63 and MS64 possibly. Toning happened after they were slabbed?
assuming straight graded, first one 62, and the Trime 63
I'll say 63 for both. The trime looks like it spent time in a Whitman Odd Type album before being submitted.

Nice, reasonably attractive Choice Unc's from what I can tell.
I recently got to see some condition census pieces for both series while visiting a friend, and while I have always liked them some, I have a new appreciation for them now, especially the 3c Silvers.

Update?
I like the Half Dime at MS62, and the 3CS at MS63... nice!

These photos were shot in Capital plastic. They are at PCGS playing the hurry up and wait game. Will report back with grades when they post.
Send them to our hosts.
They both have a strange toning pattern, suggestive of a past cleaning.
I'll guess UNC Details - Cleaned for both, even though I can't see any hairlines.

I would not be surprised if both came back "questionable color," as PCGS did that to me a number of times last year. I certainly don't wish that on you and hope they come back better! It's hard to gauge the luster on those coins but I'd say 63 and 62.
That half dime is LM-3, R1. The obverse has an interesting die characteristic - right below Liberty's ear there's a chip with a slight crack below it. At least, that's how I described it in my little chart here: https://groovycoins.com/obverse-die.jsp?year=1832&die=3
For a more visible example, here's one on Heritage I found: https://coins.ha.com/itm/bust-half-dimes/1832-h10c-v-1-lm-3-r1-ms62-ngc-pcgs-38665-/a/1374-3360.s?ic4=ListView-Thumbnail-071515

Keep us updated on this one. I've seen coins in above average MS holders that look like that but they may not want to stick their neck out on the first due to the toning. Personally I'd have no problem with it.
Finally had graded at ANA.
H10 AU58
3CS MS66
Ate there PCGS images that we can view?

I combined with a dealer to get a economy show submission. They weren’t ready by the end of the show. Will combine on CAC submission as well. Will be a bit before I get them back and get the cert numbers.
My guesses were 58 or 63 for the H10 and 65+ or 66+ for the 3cs so not too far off. The luster and color on the reverse of the 3cs was off the charts.
It's good you got the two coins graded. It will be interesting to see how cac sees the coins. Did you buy these raw from a dealer?
