The bottom two appear to be F grills; I suspect the one cent is as well but it is hard to tell from that image.

Hard to count though, so E is also possible.

The first two have big catalog values (multiple hundreds of dollars) but their condition is such that they don't hold high resale value. Because of tears, thins, pulled perfs and/or poor centering, they might get $10-$20 each on ebay.

The three cent has nice centering and large margins, but is probably a $12.50 CV stamp. If it wasn't creased, it might sell for $5-10, despite the straight edge. I don't see a scan of the grill on the 3 cent so I can't determine if it is one of the scarcer grills. Edit: Thanks for posting a scan of the back of the 3 cent. Yes, it looks like the common F grill #94.

It's too small to be one of the scarce ones, it's either E or F.

It is difficult to see the grill on the 1˘ stamp but based on the paper it is most likely an "F" Grill. The 10˘ is definitely and "E" grill and the 3˘ is an "F" grill. Scott 92, 89 and 94.
