Only going to answer once, not like some others who think it makes a point. Once again, the condition of the coins are not that high of grade and have no special premiums. Let's take a look at this one coin of yours for instance.
You just about got what we really need to check these out rightly, but use the optimizer to "crop" these down, getting rid of the background, show just the coin. It increases the clarity sometimes. Still need to be focused better, but you're getting there.
Now, note the circled areas. RED shows damages and blemishes. All this figures in to the grade(condition) of the coin. The more damage there is, the lower a grade. Also, just the wear from circulation takes it's toll. YELLOW (Had to use green font) shows the feathering of the wheat stalks. This is a high oint of the design. It generally gets the most wear, and to me is a quick indication of a grade. If the feathering is worn and not clear, this places a grade of F12 or less, based on the wear patterns and damage, it seems G4-G8 would be a good assessment. Very circulated and on the lower end of basic worth...hence again I reiterate the 2 cents a dealer would offer.
Compare that to Mint state coin, one never touched by a circulation among humans, that are MS60 and above like this:
These are what has value because of the condition. All yours are great to start a collection with, when you find a better one, change it out, we call that "up-grading", that's what collections are all about...have fun!
