  They look MS, but impossible to give a grade from the photos provided.
  
  
  edit: they look like very nice Lincolns!

  The 43 looks off. Both sides have a 'messed with' look to them.
  
  The 37 looks like a 64-66 Rd piece. The images are not that good, but the 37 looks real nice.

  I'll guess
  43 is 66
  37 is 65RD

  I like 65 or 66 on the 43. If the mark across the nose is on the plastic, I like 66 on the 37. Great strike on the 37. Shag

  That camera should do just fine. Learn to use the custom white balance feature. Once you have that figured out, I think that you'll see an improvement.

  I never had a chance this weekend to try to take better pics. NGC graded the 37 MS67RD and the 43 is graded by some other grading company (can't remember the name) MS68. I know it's not a 6t8.
