I'd like to see the first coin (the 1873) in another light to make sure it's not recolored, and the 1889 and 1907 in different light to make sure they're not cleaned.
From what I can tell, the '00 and '02 appear to be clearly nice, original-looking pieces.
1873 - Could be just the pic. but looks flat no luster. I would love to hear someone with more experience comment on this one.
I really like the strike on this one. nice crisp feathers, would like to see the shield a little better.
1889 - Once again could be the pic, but looks dipped and not rinsed very good, and starting to retone splotchy. (I learned this the hard way) I would be willing to be a bunch that this is not original. Strike looks somewhat weak.
1900 - Nice AU, from the pic, I just got slammed on few that had this look, appears to be slight rub on the ribbon and at the bottom of the wreath. As far as the color, well quite honestly, I've been focusing on RB's, but am about to start learning more about Browns, so I'm quite interested in hearing what others say about it. Strike looks better then 1889.
1902 - Same comments as the 1900 - however I like it more - curious though about the darker splotch above the wreaths ribbon, like I said I'm just getting ready to start learning more about browns. I like the strike a little more the 1900.
1907 - My comments could be just because the picture however, Looks dipped then heated to recolor, luster looks pretty flat, To bad I really like the strike on this one.
Take them in to/or mail them to someone you can trust. Have them give you honest opinions of the coins so you can learn, and please let us know what they say, so we can learn as well. I have a few left that I will probably never part with, just as reminders and ref. of coins to stay away from in the future.
Are you going to slab them?

You are getting too predictible with your sig lines. But I guess you had to respond to the guy who had the 22-0 Cleveland loss sig line.
