QVYH Soverigns. 1882 M and S, type and grade question.

[Azure]

Hi ye all-knowing gurus of sovereign stacking wisdom...

Going through some sovereigns at the moment trying to identify and grade and figured I'd throw a few on here to see if I'm actually anywhere in the ballpark.

I have 3x 1882 Sovs, one Melb and two Sydney, this much is apparent to me...
By getting into it there's a divide between Type 2 or 3 on the Melbourne one (haven't figure that out yet) and I'm pretty sure the Sydney ones are "no-BP" given the absence of the B. P. initials right of the date.

But how to estimate a grade? My initial thoughts would be: bottom: Fine, top-left: Fine, top-right: aVF...?
But given the hard divots on the top left and the scaly patina on the bottom... I just don't know.

Anyway, heres the photo. Interested to hear people thoughts.

I would say top left and bottom are bullion. Top right is AU55 by NGC standard - they are pretty easy. Short tail and obverse type probably adds no value in this case.

^^^^
Sounds about right...top-left can be F or gF

Thanks for the feedback...
It helps to get some confirmations as its been a while since I actually picked these up and I really haven't sought a lot of feedback in the past...
I got a couple more I'll throw down for an opinion too...

1885
I believe the bottom 2 are both Type V (b.p. on reverse)
Melbourne has better features but more rim knocks and nicks. (aEF)
Sydney has slightly duller features but more yet finer handling scratches. (VF)

Top Melbourne has shallower neckline (Type IV ? Is that right?)
Visible wearing down across st georges head, horses shoulder, dragons belly and queens hair on the obverse, b.p. not visible, and one serious nick on the rim. (gF?)

Bump...
I have posted the bottom lot for sale in the public sales thread.
Not completely sure about the grades and quality I will leave it open to the buyers but have set a 25% premium as a take the lot opening bid and open offers via PM.
Any further advise on grades (Understand it will possibly affect sale but what's fair and public opinion either way would suit me down to the ground.)
