There’s a good mix! The 1962 is unusual so kudos for that one.
Looking for Top Pop Mercury Dime Varieties & High Grade Mercury Dime Toners.
I guess the 2 that stand out is obviously the 1940 with a PR 62 grade - but true views don't lie - the chatter on his coat lowered the grade. But the 1950 with questionable color is nuts. Like all submissions you got some nice ones and some head scratchers.

Extremely beautiful!!
All of the coins from 1950 forward (except one of the 1950 cents and the 1962 toned cent) have mirrored fields and frosted devices. The photos of the coins with toning do not show the contrast appearance of the coins very well (or at all).
The 1950 toned cent that was not graded due to QC is gorgeous in hand. I am surprised in received a QC no grade while the wildly toned 1960 cent straight graded. I think both of these cents would warrant a Cameo designation if they had been deemed to be RD.
I also think that the 1950 RB cent (44829771) and the 1955 RB cent would warrant a Cameo designation if they had been deemed to be RD.
These coins do cover a lot of ground and present great variety.
Nice group of Lincolns. I like the ones that are evenly colored like 56 through 60. Hard for me to overlook the bright uneven colors of the others.

The 1942 looks great in the photo and in hand. However looking at it with a loupe reveals hairlines in numbers large enough to drive the grade down to PF62.
The best of these coins are the 1950 PF66RB., the 1950 PF66CAM, the 1953 PF67CAM, the 1956 PF67CAM, the 1957 PF68CAM and the 1959 PF67DCAM.
Really great cents... The 1940 and the first 1962 are standouts IMO - based on the pictures of course. Cheers, RickO
