    Need better images to venture a guess. Though, you'll only be able to get just that, a guess, as grading a coin by images is, well, it really can't be done to any degree of certainty. Though, in order to get those guesses, you'll need better images.

    I'll come up with something.

    Ok great point is there a year that perhaps I should focus on for better pictures?

    The money dates are:
    1921
    1924-S
    1928
    1934-S
    1935-S

    Good pictures of both the obverse and reverse will get you the best responses.
    You can also check PCGS Photo grade

    Ok thank you TopographicOceans I will take pictures of just those ones

    Actually, that part (those years) of the album you have imaged are the 'bigs' for the Peace $ series, except for the '21. I'd start by taking individual images of the obverse and reverse of the '28-P, and '34-S...those are the dates I'd START with...once you've supplied better images, those who know the series really well can then suggest the 'what/when/where/why, etc', and hopefully be of more assistance to you than I. The only thing I CAN say with any certainty , is that none appear to be uncirculated.

    I'll come up with something.

    Yes my grandfather collected for the sake of collecting. Some stuff looks to be amazing and the books are hard to tell I have a ben franklin that is so crisp then the others I would for sure say are circulated. But the book is completed

    From the photos, all appear to be ordinary "pulled from circulation" coins with only small premiums above bullion value for the best of them. Your 1934-D might be worth more IF it is the doubled obverse die, and especially if it has the small clear mintmark -- but the photo suggests neither of those.

    Nothing indicates a need to have them authenticated or "graded" - a waste of money for no added value. Just some thoughts.

    Those look all like good album stock. I wouldn't grade any and spend the money on filling the 28p hole

    The more you VAM..

    Nice old album and typical of album coins... As stated, we cannot grade from those pictures, however, it does appear that likely none will be worth the investment to have graded. Cheers, RickO

    Looks like Grandpa collected from circulation at face value. Ah,the glory days. Enjoy your new hobby.
