Some local NEWPS... grade opinions?

Went to the local watering hole today for a fix. Picked up a few pieces, nothing earth shattering.

1 Cent, 1888. In an ANACS slab.
1 Cent, 1931 S. In an ANACS slab.
3 Cent Nickel, 1866. Raw. Coin appears slightly out of round due to shooting at a slight angle.
1 Cent, 1838. Raw. Decent detail; looks completely original to me.

Lastly, a pair of coins that really aren't worth much, but the presentation is neat. A lady came in and sold these while I was there, so I had first shot and was able to pick them up for $15 each.

From the wording, apparently these were put together as promotional pieces in the late 1960s. Just cool advertising ephemera...
$1, 1885-O
$1, 1885-O

1. MS63 (don't like those carbon spots)
2. AU58
3. XF
4. VF, corroded
5. MS60
6. MS62

I might be off on the IH as I haven't done them in ages and it's tough with images.

Guess noone else wants to go out on a limb with this diverse group.

Yeah, I wasn't sure how to handle the large cent. It appears to clearly have XF detail, but how much do you knock down for the corrosion? Most of these I see have been cleaned and recleaned, or have major hits, whereas this one looks very original and unmarred. I paid greysheet VF money for it, so I think I'm ok...
