Jack, there a too much glare from lighting to determine surface originality on the 62 and too dark on the 64. the 62 coin appears to have been cleaned so I dont want to give an inaccurate assessment
here is a tip on better photos using your phone. give it a try
1. if coin is in holder, remove coin from holder if possible
2. turn off flash
3. place coin on flat surface with indirect natural light. maybe a window sill in a cloudy day. Use a black or white background to avoid any reflective color
4. move phone about 3in from coin
5. zoom in using your fingers until the coin comes into focus and fills the cameras view finder. if your phone has a portrait selection use that and then press and hold on the coin in the view finder to AF lock it
6. hold phone steady. if you cant then place something on either side of the coin (like books) at that distance and lay phone between them. this will hold it steady and allow you to zoom and take the photo without any blurring

Probably VF-details and AU-details, respectively. With that said, I'd need better photos to get a more accurate representation of the grade.

F15 (Liberty is weak/worn), and AU50.
I've seen that color on the '64 as a "copy". hmmmm The second set of pics looks a bit more natural. I too question it's being a legitimate "coin".

much better photos
i have the 62 at F15 maybe VF however the pinkish hue is indicative of cleaning. so I'm going with details on this one
the 64 looks AU but the color does not look natural. the coin appears to be recolored. AU details

VF-20 for the 1862
The 1864 could be a cast counterfeit.

the bronze 1864 appears to me as a possible fake. My first reaction on the 1862 was F-12 details cleaned.

Wrong reverse on the 64L. Should have a shallow N. It is definitely a counterfeit.
