Can I get some help aging these 2 Kodiak Magums? Is it by serial number, coin, decal placement. All of these? Thanks for the help

Serial number is the easiest, show a pic of them and you'll get your answer.

Serial numbers can work for dating Bear bows, but it's only easy for the years 1965-1969 where the first digit of the serial number is the year of manufacture. For example, a serial number of 7U1234 would be a 1967 bow. And I'm guessing that top bow could be a 1967 and the bottom (green) bow is probably an early 70's bow. Flush with wood, nickle silver coin 72 or earlier. Raised above the wood, gold or silver coated plastic coin, late 72 or later.

On the top one, if the serial # starts with a K and the silkscreen is on the belly it's a 1972. If it's on the back with a stabilizer bushing it's probably a 1971. If it starts with a K and the silkscreen is on the back and no bushing it's likely a 1970:
The greenies started in 1973. If it has blue future wood tips and overlay it's 1976 or later

the brown bow serial is 6M699 so it must be a 1966?

The Greenie is circa 1974-5 , and you're right, the other is a '66. Lance.
