    I acquired these 3 coins many years ago and just recently had a chance to look at them again.
    1889 3-cent nickel:

    I think the Barber grades, and the other two get bagged.

    IF thats indeed a close representation of the color in hand then it might be toned from cigarette smoke... ive actually done this intentionally to coins to hide a cleaning...

    And they call me..... doctor coins (best kiss voice)

    All three look cleaned to me and your white balance is off in your photos.

    Is this question a moot point? They already appear to be in slabs. And they do look to have been cleaned. The Barber has rim damage, the 3 cent has a die crack and there is something going on with the 1826 half , at the 8 in the date and S in States, variety?

    The Busty would detail , the others I can't tell with the pics but I lean that they're all in detail slabs .

    All cleaned. It's a shame too, the 1889 was a nice semi key date before somebody scrubbed it. Nicer details than my current business strike.
