These all showed up today, the photos aren't too great. They all look pretty similar grade-wise (high XF/low AU), but all have a very similar look, relatively banged up fields and likely dipped. What do others see?

What happened to one coin per thread? All of these are cleaned (the seller even stated as such), and are all way over priced. Stay away.

At least the seller is being honest about the state of the coins.

I like the standard template used for listing the pictures.

About the coins, its worth what the collectors are willing to pay, but the pictures are over expose and hard to check for details.

I think "lightly cleaned" means different things to different people. What confuses me is the apparent flow lines that I see in some areas. I thought cleaning/dipping that usually removes a coin's luster, typically removes those flow lines too (since luster and flow lines are pretty closely related).

Too bad too, they all look really scratched up and bleached out, would have liked to see them in their prior original states.

Ok, sorry about that...I posted all of these since they were all from the same seller and had a similar look to them, and my comments were general regarding that. Some of these dates are relatively challenging to find fully struck, very disappointing to see so many cleaned coins, especially in better struck specimens.
