VAM Guys- Please help me, bought a collection and 6 certified VAMs - need value

Okay Vammers, I am quick to jump into and attribute and value Jefferson nickels but I bought a large collection that contained 6 attributed and graded VAM.'s Can you lady's and fella's help me with their value?

1) 1888 Top-100 $1 VAM 11A DDO EAR & CLASH NGC MS-64
2) 1888-) Top-100 $1 VAM-9 DDR ARROWS NGC MS-63
3) 1878 7-TF/R78/VAM-114 SEGS MS-63 ( Solid for the grade)
4) 1882-O/O VAM-7 TOP-100 Old ANACS MS-62 White Holder- I would call here 63 by today's standards
5) 1887 Doubled Date VAM-11 (off brand holder NGS MS-63) I grade her MS-62 and she is toned pretty nicely.
6) 1934-D TOP-50 $1 VAM3 Large D DDO MOTTO NGC MS-62, this coin is a 63 if not 64 all day long, but NGC says 62.

Not my series, not going to keep, just want to price them fair. If Common, gonna crack em and put them in tubes.

Thanks Guys and Gals.

    All of them are fairly common. Go with prices from greysheet.

    Wolf, one last question is this the reverse and tail feathers and all that good stuff of the first Morgan minted?

    Even if common why crack them? Certified 63s are selling for a big premium over raw coins. 64s even more so. Might be tough to get it on 62, but a certified attributed VAM will get more attention in a dealer's case, and likely a higher price and quicker sale than a raw unattributed coin in a tube. If selling as bullion, I'm sure they'd sell in an eye blink on BST for melt price in the holders, and you'd be leaving some money on the table.

    The VAM 114 reverse is the second(7TF, parallel arrow feathers & concave eagle's breast) major reverse type produced in Philadelphia in the sequence of emission. The 8 tailfeathers eagle reverse was the first design used on the Morgan series.

    Dollars should be twenty times easier to attribute than nickels! You'd think a Marine sniper could see that from a mile away! image

    They already are attributed Larry, I need a value.

    Crack them and put them in tubes, that's how we roll in this house!
