New Purchase: US-Philippines (Big Pix)

(Cross posted in World Coin Forum)
I though some people that may not make it to the world coin forum often might enjoy these pix. Whiteside, Lightside, or Greyside, whichever you choose, here's some good'ol US coins!
-------------------
I am pretty new to the US-Phil series, but I find it an amazing run of coins. I have picked up a few here and there. These are my two biggest purchases so far. Feel free to post a pick of your favorite US-Phil coin!

    Wow, those are very nice.

    I recently picked up a partially filled Philippeans type album. It has the Spanish, US and Philippeans issues in it.
    It's a cool album that I'll be working on upgrading and adding to for the next year or two.

    I like many of the designs, yours look very nice and natural.

    I like them! I'm partial to proof coins and like the 20. The 10 looks great too with a nice strike.

    These are really attractive coins. Are they raw? What grades?

    Thanks for the comments everyone.
    I think I could have taken a better picture of the proof. The color of the proof is not from the lighting. It has the most beautiful golden toning and deep mirrors.
    I bought these raw. I am not confident in grading US-Phil coins, but I believe the 10 centavo to be Unc (Justhavingfun feels, based of the pictures, it could go 61 or 62) and the proof, I have no idea. The fields have a bit of chatter, but besides that it is a bute. Pf62??
    I would like to send them across the street for grading someday.
    If anyone has any grades in mind, lets here it.
