All I wanted for Christmas was a shiny coin.

 

 

Your picture---nr2 1910-S Is clearly a misunderstanding.

Hard to tell from those pictures and I a not very familiar with Barbers but here goes my take:

 

#1 couple of small rim dings and not much luster, AU

#2 very highly polished

#3 nice looking AU

#4 AU, dull

#5 AU, distracting black spot on rev eagle wing, dull, AU

#6 VF

 

All the ones I guess as AU look dull in your pictures, if they have any luster they could maybe go up to MS but it's difficult to capture luster in a photo. I like #3.

I wouldn't touch coin #2 with a 20-foot pole! I would buy coins 1 & 3 without a backward glance though. Nice coins. Sorry, but I'm not good at grading barbers yet so I'll keep my opinions out of it.

Agreed except that I disagree about any of the pieces having claims to MS even with more luster. As mentioned, they all look like nice AUs except for #2 (which has been ruined for me and most collectors that pursue the series with vigor) and #6.
