Appears to be a rather nice '21.

I'm going back and forth on work/bridge calls today, so I doubt I'll have a chance to post many pics. That was one I had saved on my phone as an example. I have 28 1921 dollars I estimated at that grade. I'll try to get pics of the older ones and post them.
Really just wondering if it's worth getting them professionally valued to prevent a retail store from trying to lowball me if I sell them.

@Buckeye4ever.... What grade would you give your '21 P Morgan?

As someone new to coins and just going off of what I could see for grading based on internet sites, I had it as somewhere between Choice Extremely Fine and About Uncirculated. But I am completely untrained and had no good knowledge base to start from in grading.

Sorry for your loss!
Two things immediately come to mind. First, get a pair of cotton inspection gloves. You don't want fingerprints detracting from the coin values. Second, do not clean any coins. Don't rub them, soak them, polish them—keep them exactly as they are.
You are doing the right thing by creating a spreadsheet of dates and mint marks. The folks on this forum were wonderful in helping me to analyze a coin box for potentially valuable coins.
If you take them to a coin shop, just understand that you might get an offer based on melt value, or an offer based on date/mm/condition. Rare varieties can be way more valuable, but a coin dealer will almost certainly buy at a big discount to the ordinary price, and then pocket the difference. Take your time, use this forum, get the help of folks who really know their stuff. Don't be in a hurry to liquidate.

Carson city mint and 1893 S are some keydates to look for, don't clean and don't rush, better to get a grip on what you have before you decide to sell anything.

@Buckeye.... I think your grade is low on the '21, IMO in my eyes, mid MS.
& if you could, please supply a closeup pic of the tail feathers on the '78. Thanks.

I think it would be best if you only show one coin per thread. Otherwise replies from different members on different coins will be easily confused.

I thought a coin had to be uncirculated to be graded MS. But then, that was an assumption on my part. Here is the image you requested:  |

Please, one coin per topic in the appropriate forum.  |
