Great snaps, nice work on that. a bit confusing thou, how many are there in total, which front goes with which back, maybe try another wide angle image with them all, front and back. Plus a List of Date and mint marks Can anyone tell me why the Peace dollar's "Lady Liberty" looks like Ben Franklin just asked her to meet him behind the Washington monument? |

The top image has an O below the ribbon, above the "DO" in dollar, that means New Orleans, if there is nothing there then it's from the Philadelphia mint
D- Denver
CC- Carson City
S- San Francisco
But it looks like that is the only one with a mint mark so the rest are from Philly, not sure on the Peace, I don't see a mint mark but I may not be looking in the right place's, I only have a few of them, and they are stashed away.
If you did not duplicate coins I'm counting 6 Morgan's and a peace.
There are three thing you need to know about how to value a coin, Condition, Condition, Condition, oh and the current spot price of silver.
spot is in the area of $20 right now, most dealers would be looking in the area of 25-30 for the lower quality ones and it just goes up from there, if spot was at 35-40, then the lowest quality would still fetch a few bucks over spot.
There are tons of Morgan lovers on this site so I'm sure you will get some nice buzz going with these.

Individually not so much but it's a good start you're looking at $200ish dollars plus an added amount for good condition/semi-key date coins.

The 1878, 1880, and 1891, and 1900 could all be potential winners as to VAM varieties. See the http://www.vamworld.com website to help you there, you'll need patience, and a good magnifying glass, somewhere around 7-10 power. Look at only the TOP 100 varieties to narrow down your search and lessen the amount of stuff you will need to wade through. There is always a chance of something nice in your group.

The mint mark, if any, is found above the tail.  |
