Picked up some raw coins @ auction.

unfortunately I believe all are damaged

And the half cent appears to also have been lightly burnished and recolored.
The 43 seated dollar looks like it may be a decent coin for a lower grade 7070 album.

I hope you didn't pay too much, as mentioned, there are some issues with all or most. There are a lot of rim bumps on these coins. Personally, unless very cheap, I would have taken a pass on these.

The half cent looks F12 details, cleaned/recolored and theres what looks like a planchet flaw too... at first I thought it was a scratch behind Ms. Liberty's head but it appears to be on the reverse too. The others also have issues... cleaning, scratches and rim issues on the 1838 RE Half...

I hope you didn't spend a lot... :-/

At the right price, I would have picked up the 1804 crosslet 4 with stems despite details.

Suggest you get into certified rare coins MS64 or higher.

Yes they are raw. Cracked out of details holders?

PeakRarities

As others have said, these were raw for a reason. Nothing wrong with buying raw, but try to avoid turning someone else's problem into your problem.

The Trade Dollar looks very suspicious to me. Likely a fake.

Unless you’re an expert or like to gamble not a good idea buying raw coins like this unless you were able to buy them very cheap

Although with issues, I like the wholesomeness of this lot and think they would make wonderful additions in a Dansco type set album.

Same here. I got a 1804 no crosslet 4 with stems. Nice coin 🪙 👍
