Hello, I was hoping to get some help finishing these coins. They were in envelopes and had first part written on it but thats it. Or if you agree with what they had initially even. Thanks. Ill post info of each and grading below each coin.

1879-S with a partial grading of XF but no numbers and I'm not that good yet at grading that part.

The other 2 Ill do in a seperate continued post to avoid putting too much into same message. Again, thanks for your help. I wasnt having much luck in any lighting to get better ones of the 79 but if you'd like more I can try again.

Actually best practice is to start a new thread for each new coin. That allows us to provide individual attention for each coin you post. Thx for starting new threads for your others coins.

1888 VF Details damaged
1879 S AU - Photos are not good enough to provide a grade number.

1888 F-15 details, damaged
1879-S AU-55

These look like scans and not photos which makes it hard to grade properly.

I apologize for the quality of photos, I know they aren't great but I've tried everything others have recommended to get better ones and it still wasnt turning out for me well. Its super irratating when I'm looking for help but cant make it easy to do lol..thats why I havent posted the rest yet in another thread. They def arent scans but I think Ive hopefully learned a way to get better pics. Going to try and just post them here to see if it helps you all more. Still appreciate the best u were able to do!

Once you get a good focus, then lighting can be very tough. I had good luck with two lamps with AU+ coins (to show luster), and one lamp for luster-less circulated coins.

1. VF-30
2. AU-55

I agree with F15 and AU55. They would make nice filler coins but, keep looking for nicer ones. That's just me.

Dont know if these are much better but I keep trying dif things and nothing really helps lol.. I know the 2nd one isn't very good but it shows the coloring alot better then the rest to me. Its not in horrible shape in person just some discoloration mainly.
