55 for me too. Possible old dip, but I think it would grade.
I see just a hint of luster break on the highest points of each side. AU-58.
Nice coin. I don't see any wear.
Looks dipped. These are not hard to obtain. Find a better one, with luster.
My heat sealer has a 1 to 8 setting. When I bought it, I experimented with various settings to see what works best with Mylar flips. The highest...

I'll take the 1840 off your hands any time you decide you don't like it any more... :-)
AU-53. Nice coin.
"one giant step for mankind..."
These look good to me. The 1888 3c is awesome.

it's cool that you are posting these. I'm proud to have seen a few in person.
From those pictures I'm on 65 due to subdued luster. In hand I might think it's higher.
