At a quick glance, they look pretty good to me!

Hmmmm, honestly, there are little red flags popping up in my head when I look at these. Unfortunately, my linguistic skills are not able to fully express what I mean, but I will try anyway. Emphasis on try, if I am wrong in what I come up with please don't make fun of me or call me flat out wrong without telling me and the OP why. The large cents date seems to be much too skinny and those types of coins without environmental damage have much better details. The Capped Quarters date, to me, looks too stout and it looks like there is a different metal underneath. As far as the Flying Eagle cent goes, the word "UNITED" looks a little cartoon-ish. Now, this is all just conjecture. Just me opinion. |

Anybody ever seen a denticle clash on an 1810 Large Cent before?

These are all fake. Here is how you can tell:
Date is completely wrong on the 1810 large cent. In addition, the amount of wear on the obverse is hopelessly unrealistic compared to the amount of wear on the reverse, which is common to Not Allowed fakes. The obverse is G/VG while the reverse is VF.
There is an extended point on the second star from the bottom left. This is characteristic of all Not Allowed fake large-size bust quarters. In addition, the date is completely wrong.
The 1857 cent is one of the better Not Allowed counterfeits, but the poorly-formed obverse letters and the soft, grainy appearance of both sides give it away.
Someone bought these from Not Allowed with the intention to deceive (which is breaking federal law) as they have been altered from what they look like when they come from the factory. The cent sould have a BU red appearance and the quarter should have a circulated non-cleaned appearance. The flying eagle may not have been altered from factory originality, but it wouldn't surprise me if it was since these are mostly encountered with the BU red appearance.

All of the "Not Allowed" phrases are in replacement of a well-known website where counterfeits are readily and actively sold from China.

Actual weights should be:
10.89g (maybe less due to wear)
6.74g
4.7g
