Mother says I found some Cook Island dollars.

They turn out to be all proofs dated 1972, 10 of them. She forgot about them in a box in the basement.
All have some slight surface issues, but no PVC damage. These are silver correct? I'm gonna research them
for the mintage, content, etc..
Here is one of them, the mirrors aren't deep like a typical ASE proof.
Should I slab these? Anyone have pops on this issue?
Thanks,
Scott

    I believe they're copper nickel and have little value, maybe $10 bucks a piece on a good day.
    That might even be a stretch.

    Marty had a bunch of them in his own custom sample slabs. Not these 1972 dollars- I think they were a later date and smaller size.

    Probably not worth slabbing, but still pretty.

    I mean, in terms of quality.
