Penny Acquisitions for ID confirmation please.

I bought a couple of lots of Bun head pennies at auction last week because I thought I spotted varieties that I did not previously have.

I have done my best to ID them using @secret santa's excellent site, but I am never confident with variety identification. Could anyone please confirm or correct me?

First I think is 1874H Dies 6+G, Freeman 66. (Not scarce, but weirdly a variety I did not have>)

Yes, correct on all three! Numbers two and three are quite scarce die pairings.
