They looked kind of "dry", not lustrous. Not sure how to describe it. What do you think?

I think the photographer hit the sepia setting in the photo program used to present this image.

Of course they've been cleaned, look at the 1915, the "F" still has circ gunk in it. They are all XF-AU examples, but if you're hoping to pick an uncleaned in that condition RAW, good luck! (I don't believe in luck BTW)! If those are halfway reasonably priced I'd jump on the deal.
Rest in Peace

Ken , I can see your concern ; Because they are all the same color , texture and skin it raises a big red flag to me .Something was done to these coins , a dipping or a cleaning ! Like Crazy says : If you can get them for a song ,then start singing . Grade wise they are nice .

Agree - suspiciously similar but a nice-looking lot.
