Mercury,
5c Garfield, I cannot tell the cancel
5c Taylor, typical cork cancel
2c Washington left, B cancel
2c Washington right, A cancel
10c Jefferson left, F cancel
10c Jefferson right, I cannot tell, 2 cancels superimposed on each other, maybe S cancel?
The 10c Jefferson with the F cancel looks like #209 (redrawn). You can confirm by counting the vertical lines at left between the shield line and the outer circle of the oval.
There are numerous color/shade varieties on these stamps, much like the numerous color/shade varieties on the French Napoleon/Ceres. Many of these color shades are ONLY listed in the Scott US Specialized. The Scott US Volume 1 usually lists only the common/famous colors/shades.
