Can I get a grade or opinion on 3 merc dimes?

I was ondering what the grade of these dimes might be. Also the 1916 can anything be done with it or just leave the dirt alone? 1916 rev 42 rev 37 obv., and rev. 1916 obv. 42 obv.

    I can't grade merc's well so I won't try.
    If you think it's dirt on the 1916 you can soak it in acetone for a few days it might remove it.
    It might just be dark toning thou.

    1916 good for bass 3 to 4 lb.

    1942 good for catfish 4 to 5 lb.

    1937 good for bass 5 to 6 lb.

    The 16P looks like a AU coin with original Tone. Please do not mess with it. The 37P if the obverse actually looks like your picture the coin is AU also. If the obverse looks like the reverse its MS60 to 63. The 42 looks AU all the way IMO.

    I believe this is what Spooly was saying also. image
