If you have 3 of these in that sort of condition, You can send one to me. Cleaned or not they are ALL in far better condition than my coin   |

Haha just for premanent safe keeping? I will have to think about that  By the way the middle one is the one I am really interested in but I cant tell if it has been tampered with  |

They probably all did at some point. My grandfather told me years ago people used lemon juice before there was EZ dip or whatever they call that stuff. I collect older coins that for the most part have been messed with. Whil dipping is generally not desirable, its preferable to polishing.
Aside from the cleaning issue, I'd go with VF30, XF40 & XF45.

These have ALL been cleaned at one stage, However they are desirable coins. like wjl said it was a common practice to dip coins in whatever worked back in the old days  Cleaning aside I would grade these at (from the top) AU-Au55 EF-AU50 EF-AU50 |

It seems to me that they have all had a very quick trip to a silver cleaning bath.

Not a clear pic, does not do the coin justice, but this is the reason I started collecting. A couple of years ago, I purchased this as an investment for $10k, so I started trolling around trying to find it's value, and kind of got "hooked". It was purchased as a "Gem" grade. I have always wondered about it's value, as the top of the shield looks a little weak, a bit like your pics 1 and 3.The toning is very similar to your bottom coin.  |

I don't like coin 3 at all, coin 1 has a rim knock at 5 and 7, coin 2 would be aUNC in my opinion and the pick of the bunch.
