Found these Semi-Key Barber Quarters.....Grades?

I was looking through the last of my grandfather's collection(he sold most of his rarities many years ago and my dad believes that he had some good onesimage) and I found these semi-key Barber Quarters...a 1894-S, 1896-O, and a 1908-S. The 08 is definitely in the best condition...but I wanted to get opinions on grades. I know the picture quality could be better, but your thoughts are greatly appreciated, Thanks!

    I think they are all varying levels of Good.
    The '96-O could be less, but may pull through to a G-4.

    G-4, AG-3, G-6 in that order.

    Those are my estimations too.
    When in doubt, don't.

    Am I the only one that noticed something alittle different with the 1894-s? Doesn't S MM look alittle off in terms of being off to the right and directly over the D of DOLLAR?

    Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.

    Just looked at a pic of another 94-s and it would appear as if this is normal Mint Mark placement for this year?

    It very well could be typical... I just thought it had the look of a possible variety

    I know very little about the Barber Quarter series, I am simply pointing out what I saw on a pic of another 94-s. It would be cool if it were some type of variety!
