  They both appear to be AU55 with the first one having a possible cleaning.

  I learned years ago to only buy TPG little Indians. Way too many are counterfeit, and many of the raw ones will not grade with the TPG.
  
  I cannot grade the coins from pictures.

  I collect Capped Bust series by variety in PCGS AU/MS grades.

  Probably good advice. Everyone that says those are harshly cleaned, I believe, are forgetting that they have no rim to protect the surface. A single slide across a table will cause hairlines.
  
  I don't agree that they are cleaned, but without seeing in hand, I can't tell.

  They both look genuine and AU55 at a minimum, to me. I'm open to the possibility, but not convinced that the first one has been cleaned.
