Would it be worth grading these coins? Ho much would they be worth if I do or if I don't?

Can't answer your question based on this pic. We'd need to see both sides of a single coin, one at a time.

Probably not - storage like that causes rubbing and contact marks that likely lower the grade below any premium for those

For starters like CoinFrog says. Picture of each front and back for a grade opinion.

I will tell you this though, To not post the unlikely candidates and narrow down the field some, Go to PCGS.com and look up the year and mint mark on the population report and find out what the highest grade is for the coins currently otherwise known as "top pop". Ideally you'd want to meet that grade with cents... or beat it or it won't be worth the grading fees.

And it won't be really worth the grading fees and time if it wouldn't sell for more than $150.
Anything with spots or dings or blemishes would exclude it from being a top pop candidate and likely a waste of money to get it graded because you won't recover even the fees for grading.

Errors or varieties would be the exception to that rule, which are much more scarce and more widely collected. This rule is in the case of common business strikes, collectors will pay well for top pop examples for their registry set. Anything below top pop you probably won't even come close to recoving your grading fees. One grade below and it's a maybe.. but depends on how many examples are already out there graded.

You can do as you like though people send low value coins for grading all the time and pay the fees of $30+ to slab a $5 coin. Just telling you how I do it and what rule I set on myself so I don't waste money grading coins that have too low of a resale value that I'll never be able to justify the grading fees on.

I wouldn grade them if I were you. But you should upload individual coins back and front to be sure.
