Terrific trio!
<< <i>So does the 1842 typically have a different design than the other two, check out the leaves on the rev etc, just trying to learn, not trying to cause trouble. >>
1842/1843 represented a transition of (mostly letter size) on the reverse of half eagles from all four mints.
<< <i>All look good and fairly graded. They also look as if they've had an old dipping/cleaning; nothing unusual about that for a coin that old, though. >>
Cleaning and dipping are different things. These coins are not cleaned and probably haven't been dipped. They are nice circulated examples and generally original (who can ever really be certain). I think all three will CAC.
I like the 44 a lot knowing its history. I can see it as a 40 for sure but almost like it as a 35 because it is certaily an "A" 35. This is a tough date to find untouched I would guess due to it's past scarcity relative to the current populations. The prices have come down due to small hoards (this coin being from such an hoard and I own a coin from the same stash).
The 54-C is a tough date especially with a strong mint mark. It is likely in the top of 5 of C $5's to find in acceptable condition and with a strong mint mark.
The 42-C ironcially I like the least. Ironcic because I believe I told you about the coin. It's a decent coin for sure but the color isn't as attractive as the other examples. That said it will CAC again.

And that's why I said cleaned/dipped. Just my opinion. I can see old, faint, but visible hairlines in some. Again; no major issue on a coin this old.
ps; saying all 3 probably haven't been dipped ever is absurd. I'd say over 90% from this era in pcgs slabs have, at one point.

Not to me. YMMV
<< <i>His 50-c in AU50 is a coin that is crusty and I love the look. >>
I know. I used to own it.

A very nice trio...any of the three would be a welcomed addition
<< <i>His 50-c in AU50 is a coin that is crusty and I love the look. These are OK. >>
could you be confusing the grade with originality? i don't blame you for liking the look of the au coin better...it did not see as much commerce as these did...especially the 44.
the 44 dipped or cleaned? i doubt it...but it has probably had everything else that happens to a coin done it. spent, dropped, flipped, pocketed, lost, muddied, washed, rubbed, and on and on until someone squirreled it away.
thanks to everyone for the all the comments!
