Comparing your '23 to a PCGS AU55 (1924) that I'm holding I see your coins obverse is nicer than mine. Better 7th/8th, better mo etc. Yours has a bit more rim dings than mine and might not be as nice in the reverse (I think the green goblin will hold back the grade).
So better than EF and probably aUnc (55-58).

Yes I'm not a great fan of the green death Neal but it's hard finding coins that old that doesn't have it unless the coin has been squirrelled away, doesn't matter because it's one of the nicer old one's I have :)

gEF for the first coin IMO. The reverse rim has had a few knocks and the toning may be hiding a few field contacts. Same for the obverse although the rim is better, and the regalia, shoulder, mustache and brow are all touched off.

Very much the same for the second coin IMO.
As we age we lose three things, one is our memory and arrrrr I've forgotten the other two!
