    1862 - about $10 in G4
    1864 - about $15 in G4
    1879 - about $5 in G4

    the others are common dates

    Are they cleaned?

    Any Indian cent (undamaged and uncleaned) should be worth about $1

    Did you check for an L?

    As worn as the 1864 seems, the "L" might be impossible to identify. As Koinjester indicated, if the left tip of the bust is rounded like the 1862, then it is not an "L". If the tip is pointed ( narrow) like that of any of your Indian Head cents after 1864 , it is an "L".
