Wow, this is an interesting group.
There are many members who have a better eye than me and will grade.
One request, could you take them out of the holders and post again.

Hm, I can do that, but it'll have to be tomorrow as I ran out of time for today... I am slightly apprehensive about removing the seated half though as I'm afraid ill leave fingerprints or have an accident... The other two I'm much less concerened about condition as they are already pretty beat up...

Pics aren't that great, but I love the Seated half.

Some really nice coins you have there. Better pictures would help a lot but I'll hazard a few guesses.
1877-S Seated Half - Certainly looks MS - if it grades problem free it is the best of the three
1824 Capped Bust Half - VF-30 or thereabouts
1820 Capped Bust Half - XF-45 or thereabouts - harder to find coin, should have some good value in this grade

#1 - MS 64, superb original toning obverse.
#2 - VF 35
#3 - EF 45, might make 50.
All appear natural, uncleaned and original.
If you can post your photos right side up it helps us see the coin, especially if we are using a tablet which snaps the photo back in the wrong position if attempting to change the orientation.
Really lovely examples. I love the seated and I would certainly take the other two out for a second date.

Btw, you guys are awesome, thank you for the lightning quick replies, it is extremely appreciated, these are some of my picks from the local coin store, (I got lucky with the seated half as I was there when he got it)

You don't have to take the coin out, just remove one shell, take the picture. Put the shell back but not completely. Turn it over and tap it so the coin and ring drops into the other shell then remove the second shell and take the picture. That whay you never have to touch the coin.

Looks to be a scratch on the reverse of the 1820 CBH as well as an unusual coppery area underneath the left wing.
Also an less visible scratch on the reverse of the 1824 CBH.
