A couple of crusty old wheat cents. Can you guys help me identify the year and mint mark if noted? 1 1

Got a few OLD crusty pennies today. But having difficulty making out the dates. Can You guys lend a hand? Not very nice coins. 19X8 and 19X9

Did you try placing a sheet of paper over them and lightly going over them back and forth with a pencil? It might help💁🏼‍♀️

Looks like 1919 & 1918.

I believe Just Bob is correct.

[Alex in PA.]

Also agree with JustBob on that 18 and 19.  If not doesn't matter.  There is still the age to consider.  100 years for both.  Aged coins always interest me.

The glob of stuff on the 1918 looks like Andromeda Strain.
