The pictures I took of the reverses were garbage--too much lighting. I can say that the reverses would definitely grade higher than the obverses...

1867 xf40,
1869, vf30

This is a coin I really have never graded before, so I could be way off.

Wow, I was way off.

1867 - F12
1869 - F15 details, however it looks like there is PVC residue on it. This could lower the value to VG8.

The reverses make a difference. Although these coins are notoriously weakly struck on the reverse, how distinct the lines are within the III makes a difference. It could kick the grade up to VF or down to VG.

Keep in mind that I grade according to the older standards and don't feel too discouraged. Grading coins from images is not easy...keep in mind that I could be wrong, too.
