What do you think about them?

This coin has a obvious scratch. Did not send to PCGS.

    I think the 1942/1 is especially attractive!

    Coin #1 is borderline AT/NT, but still the prettiest one, I think.
    The rest are likely NT.

    Coin #3 has a "dead zone" on the reverse (upper right quadrant from about 12:00 to 4:00).
    I think it was, at one time, nearly black in that area and was then lightened up via mild abrasion.
    The obverse has a similar effect near the rim from about 3:00 to 5:00.

    Coin #4 has a little bit of the same on the reverse near the rim from about 1:00 to 4:00.

    Even tho I agree it's borderline AT I still like #1 the best.
