Looks like all of them are in the VF-XF range, but impossible to say from these pics.

Yeah, but I wouldn't go that high. G-6?

There is no possible way any of these coins are G6, look again. Some have full diamonds and all have bold "LIBERTY". Probably best to post larger pictures it is always difficult to see when coins are grouped together. a couple are AU but the VF/XF. You can't really see the diamonds on them in this picture.

I can't see enough detail to make an accurate assessment. I encourage you to get a hold of a copy of Photograde, since it has pictures of every US coin in all circulated conditions and you can put those coins right up against the pictures and see where they line up. Many libraries have it so you might not have to buy it.
PCGS also has an on-line Photograde section which includes all Mint States as well

Hard to tell from small pictures, but I see plenty of letters in liberty in these. So definitely not G6

Here is one, I am having a little difficulty grading this one because of the grayish crud on the tassel. Maybe AU but at least XF.   Edited by buddy16cat

Actually the 1900 coin above looks closer to the XF coins on the PCGS Photograde. I know that gray looking stuff can throw you off which I was having issues with. I would agree with supgog, these coins here are mostly VF/XF except the 1909 that came with this lot which is in a separate thread and this one below which looks AU but has a rim ding. I don't know if this rim ding will make it a details coin.   |

I have the 1900 at VF35 as well. It'll take a sharper separation of the ribbon to make XF.
The 1903 is interesting. The obverse says AU50, but the shield on the reverse isn't clear enough. Is it an artifact of the image compression?

If you look close at the ribbon on the 1900, you can see a clear separation the issue is the gray stuff on it that goes across the lower curl and ribbon. I had to zoom into it more. The rims look a little bent though. I wonder if soaking it in distilled water would make it more defined if the gray stuff comes off? I have another coin just like it, the 2x2 was marked as XF but the gray stuff makes it hard to see. Yes I thought the reverse of the 1903 is interesting too. Would you agree the 1903 is AU? Would the rim ding on it make a details? It may not because it really seems to depend on the coin. Larger coins it is more of an issue. The 1903 is compressed using the tool using the compression tool on this board.

This looks like one of the XF coins but I see several are VF.   |
