Xxx,
Here are the pics of the coins that you asked about:
1820 Bust Dime - Retail $100, Net $80
When I blow this one up and grade it from the pic, it looks more like a Fine than a VF. The reverse is stronger, and the coin truly looks better in person than it does in the pic. Since the Greysheet shows $40 in F and $85 in VF, I think $50 is a fairer price. Let me know your thoughts on this one. You can still return it if you want.
1837 CBH - Reeded Edge - Retail $125, Net $80
I note a couple of tiny rim nicks, and this coin was probably wiped at some point in the past, but it retains some luster around the devices. Probably needs to darken a bit to satisfy some folks, but folks who like white coins will like this one. Nice VF sharpness.
1838 CBH - Reeded Edge - Retail $125, Net $80
A very nice original VF coin. A planchet defect shows at 1:00 on the obverse. It's nowhere near as obvious in hand as it is in these blown up pics, but it's definitely there. I have looked at the spot under 20x magnification, and believe that it's a defect rather than PMD, but you can certainly judge for yourself. If you decide to return it because of this flaw and want me to pay the postage, I'll be happy to do so.
Next test ...

For comparison, here are the small images from the PCGS Photograde page in VF20, VF25, VF30, VF35 & XF40:
