I'm on board with ShadowCreator, pretty much:
1. The 1854-O half has a VF-20 or VF-25 reverse but the weak LIBERTY would hold it back from a technical F-12 grade overall. Nevertheless it appears to have original surfaces, great color, and quite a lot of obverse detail. I'd value it at about the F-15 level.
2. The 1853 quarter has VG-8 detail overall but the unnatural color (from cleaning) really hurts it. I'd value it no higher than G-04.
3. The 1916-D quarter has nice color, no signs of cleaning, and some very minor rim dings. I think it's solid for VF-30.
