Is AU the same as XF? The 1 pfenning iwould say XF, with die crack. The50 penning to me is just alittle under XF. But not VF. The 50 penning i would say XF-. I only go VG, F, VF,XF, UNC, and poof.I dont go any deeper then that because it the person eyes after that. But this is how iam grading my coins.Short and easy. {KISS}. But Tony they are both very nice coins.
