The green color doesn't look natural. It looks a little dull too, I imagine it was cleaned. It almost looks corroded, but that could be because this is a scan and not a photo? The details are definitely present though, I'd say F15.

I think this one may have been cleaned at some point but has retoned nicely.

Too many halos to be natural but it's still a nice coin.

It has a corroded look to me. Or just dirty. There is a hint of Liberty in the shield but the reverse devices are very mushy, which seems to be a contradiction when grading. I'd put it at VF-25 Details but either cleaned or corroded.

If you own this one, you might try an acetone bath. If you are considering buying, I'd probably steer clear unless you are getting a really good deal.

It looks like a solid VF-25 to me.
