I have NO idea if it is cleaned or not... BUT, knowing that the seller has a coin collection valued conservatively at well over 1 Million Euro (all German and british and french Colonial coins in high MS and proofs. has the german New Guinea 10 and 20 mark ( both gold) in proof twice..alone worth over 100,000 euro , I somehow do not think that these coins have been cleaned. he purchased them together with what he really wanted about a year ago from a german widow.
the key for me is the 1871H 50 cent...
if I could only decide on a minimum grade....

Good spotting Dan, funny looking King Edward V11 on the 1902..
The Victoria obverse looks good though.. just the wrong year..

The 1871 H 50 cents has nice detail, Maybe as high as AU, However, there are obvious scatches on both sides......Cleaned must be added, value now at VF. IMO

I see no issues of authenticity of any of the 50 cent coins, however the back ground varience of colour may cause me some concern....if I did not know the seller.  |

 Personnally because their your coins Helmu, I'd give all 5 pieces grades between VG-10-TO-F15. Glenn  |

hhbkiddo, here's my take on the grades I would be comfortable with:
1900 - VF30
1874 - VF35
1871 - EF40
1870 - EF40

MKB,
how would you evaluate the scratches on the 1871?

"how would you evaluate the scratches on the 1871?"
I can't tell if those are scratches or streaks in the toning from handling. If they are scratches, it may be prudent to see if you can negotiate a lower price. For me personally, when I deal with older coins that are scarce like this one, I care less about light scratches than I do with a coin that is more plentiful (such as the more modern issues). The reality with these older coins is there is not much to choose from, and many of them have major faults.
