Testing my knowledge of cleaned Morgans, can I get help please?

A local Craigslist listing has me wondering if I am correct about some Morgans for sale. I am thinking all are cleaned coins with the exception of maybe picture number 5 of 17. Anyone care to chime in with their opinions. I am even questioning that picture as well.
For me most of them just "don't look right" but a few show dark areas and what appears to be polished surfaces. Thanks for all the input, any comments are appreciated.

Run away, fast. You're instincts are correct. They are worth melt only.
Lance.
6 and 10 are the same coin. Run away quickly
You can do much better for that price with a little patience and searching.
1 and 2 are the same as well.
Ha! I didn't see that until you pointed it out. Thanks. I don't plan on buying any of them. I put this link in only as an educational opportunity for me.
Polished with a high speed buffing wheel. CL is probably not the best place to buy coins. Just saying. A big PASS.

I don't think that repeated coin is even genuine. Of course, it is very harshly cleaned/polished/who know's what, so it is a bit hard to tell for sure.
They appear to be from the estate of the esteemed Irish collector, Mr. Pyle O'Crap.
Run Forrest run.... Yep.. some duplicates, polished, etc.... bad deal all around... Cheers, RickO
Can they be submitted to CLAC?
Cleaned polished whizzed whatever you want to call it it's been done to these coins. You can find original 1921 Morgan's for way less... I know your not buying them just stating that fact

Yup most are cleaned or polished. An LCS would buy the lot for around $13ea and sell at $17/18ea

How many times have we seen "from an estate" on eBay? It's a standard line from many people who turn out to be scamers. If you buy their stuff you will end up "buried" like the person who had the estate, if there was such a person.
I see like 4 or maybe 5 individuals, most are same coin duplicated pictures. I believe you are correct in thinking that the 5th picture is the nicest of the others, so good eye on that! Nothing good will come from a meeting with this seller.
Several of those pictures look like chinese copies to me. I'd pay $15 each for the genuine ones...
I wonder how he could accumulate such a group of scratched up, polished, cleaned coins in one place.
