Do you think they would take 70?

That 1818 type coin is not a common find in that condition, the conditions for this type are often quite worn from what I have encountered. The 1818 date is not all that difficult to find but for me that coin obverse has nice eye appeal, despite some apparent corrosion on the reverse.
It would still be easy to sell.

The 1854 is easily in above average condition for a common date but I can't tell what those dark splotches are.
Maybe it looks better in hand?

The 1853 looks to have a scratch on Liberty's cheek but I still find it an attractive coin since it is in a natural state and has AU details.

If I were offering any Jo Schmo money for them I would perhaps say 1818 $27 1854 $14 and 1853 $24 .....
Total offer $65 and could probably re-sell for almost double that. Just my opinion.

If I were shopping on ebay I would expect to see a
Buy It Now price at about
1818 $49 1854 $23 and 1853 $44

Tough call.

The 1853 is very nice detail wise but the photo isn't sharp. The coin appears to have some mild porosity problems. I have not tried to do a variety attribution. Detail seems to be Xf-Au mild porosity net VF, maybe $30 - $40 retail.

The 1854 has good details but the stains on the back hurt it. Photos are too small to really judge surfaces. I'd say $25 - $30.

Now for the tough one. This is very difficult for me to price. Sharpness is high grade probably XF or even a little better, but the surfaces are BAD, dark and moderate to heavily porous. EAC would probably net grade this as a VG. A typical VG can usually be had for under $20, a high detail net VG maybe $30. This is NOT a typical high detail net VG. This is a N-5 an R-4 coin and a tougher R-4, and it is an early die state. Unfortunately I can't find my copy of the price guide for EAC coins. My best guess is this is probably about a $60 - $80 coin. If it wasn't for the porosity it would be an $800+ coin. The Goldberg's sold one with a little less detail but smooth surfaces at the Pre-Long Beach sale June of last year for $725+juice. On ebay right now there is an unattractive Good for $27, a high detail (but not as high as yours)but even more severly damaged than yours for $25, and a smooth problem free VG for $80.

1853 - in the low $40's. Great detail. the problem is you can find coins of this date is great condition with out distractions for 3-4x that.

1854 - $30's (ditto)

1818 - The details on this coin would be the clincher for me. $80 for this R-4

All nice looking coins. Pending if you really want them, anything under $100 for all is decent price. Try offering about $70 to $80 first though.
