How would you grade these?

I've always loved Mexican 8 Reale pieces and similar type coins. (Gee, more eagle designs... think it's an obsession maybe?)
So I picked up a few on the Bay this evening. Nothing earth shattering, either scarcity-wise or wallet-wise (lucky for me). They ranged in price from $14.95 to $35.95 each.
The pics below are from the auctions; not the best photography in the world, and some are tough to grade, possibly being anywhere from VF to BU. I'm guessing some may have been dipped in the past.
Give me your thoughts on grades; I'm curious as to how wide the spread is on each coin...

If you got that 2 pesos for less than $50 you did well -- I just hope it's not cleaned.
<< <i>I'm guessing the top one is XF, maybe AU. The other two 8R and the peso are AU as well, along with the 2 pesos.

Yeah, the haze on the obverse of the 2 Peso piece has me a little concerned, but I figured it was worth a gamble for $35.95. All the others were $20 or less.
