The pics are a bit fuzzy to be certain of grades, but I can give ballpark figures for book value.

Top one is a 2 ore 1761, lists at $5 in VG, which would be a generous grade for this piece given all the knocks and nicks.

#2, 5 ore 1886, lists at $30 in VF, but perhaps this one is not that high due to the edge damage.

#3: 5 ore 1891, lists at $35 in EF.

My Swedish coin catalogue gives the following:

2 öre 1761, grade 2 (VG/F) - SEK 55 (Roughly USD 7) Edge damage would bring it lower.
5 öre 1886. A grade 4 (VF/F) is SEK 60 (USD 8), and a grade 6 (VF/EF) is SEK 275 (USD 38). A Swede would not be expected to offer a 6 for this. A 5 is more likely, and with edge damage pulling down a 4 valuation would be reasonable.
5 öre 1891, grade 6 - SEK 125 (USD 17). If you could pull it off as a grade 8 (EF/AU) it would fetch SEK 350 (USD 47) but I think it unlikely. A strong 6 seems to be the best one can hope for.

Officially the Swedish gradings respond to US ones as follows:
2 (also 1?) = VG
4 (also 1) = F
6 (also 1+) = VF
8 (also 01) = EF
10 (also 0) = UNC
...but Swedish grading is much more strict than US grading, so I think my estimation is closer to reality.

Thanks for the info! I paid $5 for the 1761, and 10c for the others.
