Hi all! I have some interesting coins and I am wondering are they worth grading. Please write your comments. The used coin on some of the pictures 
is just for comparison of the color and quality.

There is nothing worth grading. Why would you even consider sending in coins like that? Don't be fooled by all the online talk about "color" being worth big money. A few of the coins you show have some silver value and the rest appear to be little more than pocket change. Collectors who pay premiums for color want exceptionally nice coins, which yours are not.
You have a good mix of circulated and uncirculated coins, some appear to be proof coins.
None appear to be worth the cost of grading, sorry.
I personally would not spend any money on grading fees for any of these coins.

All of the coins, except used samples and Kennedy are never touched by bare fingers and all are not proof.
Unless a coin is worth in excess of $150.00, it does not pay to have it graded.
I don’t see anything in your pictures that are worth anywhere near that.
Your 1962 nickel & your 1961 quarter are proofs.
Why you thing they are proofs? You mean that I do not what are MY coins?:)
Respectfully, most simply, it is the appearance of the surfaces, with a sharper and higher relief of the devices and the mirror like surfaces behind that are a give away. Going beyond that, there are other differences we need not go into here.
Look at CoinFacts or a Redbook for more info.

Well I got 4 agrees and you got 3 LOL's does that tell you anything?
@Toto2334 how much do you think those coins are worth now, as they are? How much do you think it would cost to get them graded? How much do you think they will be worth after they are graded?
Those are serious questions. I hope you will consider answering them before any other responses.
Toto, I've a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore...
The proof coins in the group are:
1961 Nickel
1962 Nickel
1961 Quarter
1962 Half Dollar
The 1967 nickel and dime might be SMS coins, but that does not really boost the value any.
The silver coins (dimes, quarters, half dollars) of 1964 and older have some value for the silver.
But none of them are worth more than the cost to have them graded.
@dcarr Yes I noticed the SMS coins and the other proofs but I was trying to keep it simple and point out the most obvious ones that the OP should be able to see clearly.
You can get an idea of the value ungraded coins from the sold listings on eBay. You can get an idea of graded coins on the PCGS and NGC websites.
Re:
You asked.
Keep collecting, good luck.
@Toto2334
Don't be discouraged. If you have an interest in collecting your at the right place. Keep those coins and maybe you can build a collection. You'll learn alot around here. People are honest and will tell you the truth. Keep an open mind and try not to be offended.

@Toto2334,
“What does it mean when a coin is proof?
Proof Coins: Are the finest quality of coin produced by the United States Mint. The term "proof" refers to the coin's finish. Proof blanks are specially treated, hand-polished, and cleaned to ensure high-quality strikes. The blanks are then fed into presses fitted with specially polished dies and struck at least twice.“

Contrary to popular belief, many proof coins have been struck just once. Here’s an old quote from numismatic researcher extrodinaire, Roger Burdette: “…The main point is that collector's proofs were struck only at Philadelphia. They were more-or-less started as sets for sale beginning in 1858 and continuing through 1916 (cents and nickels only); then from 1936-1942; and 1950-1964. All were struck on a medal press and all were struck once.

I understood that using the medal press they could use more pressure and produce a better coin without having to strike it twice in a normal press.

vegas, baby!
I like some of the toned coins and that's about it. I'd put them aside to have, fwiw
Your pics are very good.
I hear the drums echoing tonight
Here we go again, new member ( low posting count), shows his coins, asks a question, gets numerous similar answers from many members and doesn't like what he hears. I don't get it
Many thanks for your answers and comments. Some of my coins (when you see them not on a picture) are at least as good as the same (or almost the same) coins listed as sold on Heritage and other auctions as Roosevelt 1976, Half Dollar 1959, 1962, Jefferson 1961, Washington 1961? ,
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do.
No, they're not. We gave you the only correct answer, the tribunal has spoken.

I think it's important that you spend the money and get them graded. We call it "tuition" and sometimes that's the only way people are able to learn.
Hurry boy, it's waiting there for you.
All I wanna do when I wake up in the morning is see your eyes

I never thought that a girl like you could ever care for me

All I wanna do in the middle of the evening is hold you tight

I didn't know you were looking for more than I could ever be
Not quite a year since you went away
Rosanna, yeah
Now she's gone, and I have to say
Meet you all the way

No, they really are not. The 61 quarter is a candidate for a 2x2 or a flip, but the rest are hole fillers for your standard blue Whitman folders.
