Okay…here they come 😊 I will start with the Morgan’s, there are 12 total. In this photo they are all 1921. The coin in the 2nd row/right side column is 1921-S. The others have no mint mark. I thought I’d try the photo this way first. But if you need them closer & separately, I can do that too.
Coin Snap graded most as MS, nothing lower than XF. But I’m not sure how dependable that is. Or where they rate on the MS spectrum ($47-$65,000). Im pretty sure none are MS70… lol. I’m so excited to be able to talk about these coins with people who KNOW what they are 😁👍 thank you in advance soooo much 💕

I can assure you none of those are MS70. The 1921 is one of the most common dates. Still nice coins though. If nothing else there nice pieces of junk silver.
Thank you Zach98. I was hoping for a bit more of an individual description. But I appreciate it. I have no visual reference/knowledge bank to draw from myself, when I look at these coins. I do know they aren’t MS70… but I don’t know what they are otherwise. I’m not sure I even fully understand what the term “junk silver” encompasses. My prior definition of the expression has expanded recently though… as I’ve learned junk silver can be quite a nice thing to have. I was quite happy with having 35 lbs of junk silver quarters. But.. I’ll save the quarters questions for another post so I stay on topic. With the Morgan’s I was hoping to better understand where my coins are on the grading spectrum. I thought maybe since there was several of the same year coin & varying in conditions. It might help give me some perspective …. I hope that makes sense.
I'd estimate value at about $225 for the 6 coins.
Collecting 1970s Topps baseball wax, rack and cello packs, as well as PCGS graded Half Cents, Large Cents, Two Cent pieces and Three Cent Silver pieces.
Here are the other coins. More 1921 & a couple others
Your first group of 6 coins the bottom left coin appears to be uncirculated, it's hard to tell an exact grade from your photos I would guess maybe in the MS-64 to MS-62 range. Better photos would be needed to give a better estimation.
The top 4 coins appear to be in the AU-50 to AU-58 range
The bottom right appears more in the XF range.
Your bottom set of 6 coins the first coin looks like it might be a MS-63
Second coin is XF maybe a very low AU.
Third coin looks like a low AU
Forth coin is XF
Fifth coin 1880 S appears to be MS or high AU but cleaned.
Sixth coin 1883 O could be anywhere between a AU-58 and MS-63. Better photo would be needed.
You are doing great with your photos for a new member, with a little practice you will do better.
Your photos are good enough to get in a general range of grade, if that's all you are trying to do is get a general idea and learn more about narrowing it yourself this is all you need to do. If you are wanting a little more precise grades we need just a little better photos. There are several threads here on the forum about how to take better photos with a phone or camera, just use the search function.
