First off I have not a lot of faith in TPGs but I like to keep them in the holders for protection and ease of viewing. Buy the coin not the holder. So here we have 3 halves 2 of which came from original boxes and one which was in an old flip. I have the flip somewhere in my house and will post a pic when able and one of the original holders. The seller of the coin in the flip had 2 identical coins for sale with 2 different flips each with 2 different names on them. I could only imagine they were gifts and was lucky to win one. The seller of the 2nd coin that came in the original holder didn't include it in the auction but I didn't mind as I had one already and that one is pictured below. So what grade would you assign these 3? I post the answers at least 24 hours from now.

I moved this out of the US Commemorative and NCLT section to the US Classic Coin Grading, since you were looking for grades.

My favorite commem by far, one reason being that both sides have exceptional designs which is not often the case with these classics. Here, I'll say 66, 65 and 64, respectively.

Very nice original coins with clean surfaces!

I'm going to assume that the changes in color I see on the high points of the eagle on the reverse of each coin are not the result of rub (just an artifact of the lighting) and say that each of the coins is at least MS-65 with MS-66 a strong possibility across the board.

Thanks for sharing!

PS Nice box!

I have no idea how to grade these but I love how you picked coins with toning that greatly enhanced the charter oak design. It has that autumn feel that you could not get on a blast white coin.
IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS
THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: "It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."
