    Are any of these reliably graded and priced?

    $225 - raw

    $250 - ANACS XF40
    ("HT-268")

    @deacon2828 , thank you!

    On tokens #1 and #2, there is no curved line, and the 3rd tail feather is NOT touching the ground, therefore it is "Obverse 3" (I think).

    On token #3, there IS a curved line, therefore it is "Obverse 5" (?).

    On tokens #1 and #2, I can't tell if the "top horizontal stroke of ‘N’ touches the top horizontal bar of ‘T’" (that would make it "Reverse E"). Else, it would be a "Reverse D".

    Edit: since "Reverse D" is MUCH rarer, I'm pretty sure that #1 and #2 and both "Reverse E".

    On token #3, there a berry to the RIGHT of the bow inside the wreath, therefore it is a "Reverse G".

    So I think #3 is obverse 5, reverse G, for a rarity factor of "R2". I think that #1 and #2 are both obverse 3, reverse E, again giving "R2".

    I'd stay away from coin #3, have you seen all that green gunk? I can't tell you if it's reliably graded, but the ANACS coin seems to be quite nice and would be my preferred choice. Do you want to buy or sell? LOL

    First looks possibly cleaned. I'd need to see in hand. Anacs one is decent. Third has good meat but might need some treatment with acetone and or verdicare

    In terms of price, $200-250 should get you a coin in the XF range. Double that for uncirculated. Feuchts are notorious for terrible strike. I yet to have one in my collection. I'd rather have an about uncirculated or choice extra fine with better feathers and stronger lettering than a true mint state with a poor strike. If $250 is your budget, I'd keep looking. You'll find better.

    If you want to spend a little more, Rick Irons has a fairly nice raw example for $475 on the 'bay.
