And one more, I have several of these so if one is proof, then they all are.  |

Looks like you have something over the cent that's making it blurry.

The pics are with the coins in coin bags, I am going to transfer them into flips tonight and set up my camera in the next couple of days so I can take better pics of them. They are all hazed / toned, so I am unsure of what to do with them, if they would grade high enough I would send them for conservation maybe. My guess is that they are proofs, though how so many ended up loose in a lot is anyone's guess. I will post more pics once I get things set up.

How the heck do you value this kind of thing?  |

I've been following the auction prices pretty closely on the early proofs, and prices have generally been declining over the last few months. In PR-64 and PR-65, the 1939 Lincolns are often selling for below $100 and some are under $50. I would suspect an impaired (circulated) proof is going to be much lower.

Assuming they are all proofs I would not pay a premium to have them conserved . All I would do is give each one a soak in Acetone put them in non PVC flips and show them to a few dealers or bring them to a coin show to get evaluated .  |

Pictures of the edge of the rim. Certainly acetone soak, they would need to grade proof 66 at a minimum to be worth conservation. It's really hard to tell how nice they would be without the haze on them. But then I have seen amazing things with conservation.   |
