First Page
I would just start a new, and post one at a time. The load time kills most of us, and as far as condition there are many higher value

Yeah, I have plenty of bandwidth to download the pics but Chrome chokes on having them all onscreen at once. It's using half a Gigabyte of RAM to display this page. 
Tomten, that first coin is in the process of being eaten alive by PVC byproducts. I strongly urge you to research the use of acetone - there is plenty of information on this forum regarding it - and get that coin into an acetone bath. Judging from the upper part of the obverse, I suspect permanent damage has already been done.
An ultimate posting size of roughly 1000px diameter is ideal for posting; many hosts will allow images of such size. If you scale them down in the Gimp or equivalent, crop to just the coin and then save at 75-80% JPG Quality, you'll have easily-loaded images of ample size for evaluation. The images you've posted are much larger than they need to be for your desired advice; if there are questions about specific details, more resolution can be called forth in a cropped image.
With that said, I do not see any value-added varieties among these coins. The rim crumbling on the 1889-O is interesting, and might make it more attractive to a potential buyer who is interested in such features, but won't drive the price up a whole lot.
We'll be happy to help attribute these coins. I've taken the liberty of downloading them locally; the Gimp has a far easier time with them than my browser does.
