So I just picked these 25 coins up tonight, I would like to flip some of them and keep some for my own collection.. I was wondering what you may think these would grade and a approximate value you would assign on average.. Hope the photos are clear enough..
Thanks in advance..

Any of them have the maple leaf after the date? And there are two types of '7', short and tall. The short 7 points right at the bottom, the tall 7 points left. The maple leaf version with the short 7 is especially rare.

The pictures aren't that good but my best guess is they're in Fine condition... perhaps if you can see a bit more detail in the hair they may be very fine...

Depending on how long you care on holding on to them...(waiting to find the right buyers) You could probably get 12-15 for them.

Personally what I would do in your situation is if you bought each at $12... pick out your top 3 out of this lot.... sell the rest for $14 each... This will net you around $8 profit and 3 free coins...

, with iontyre, check to see if any have a maple leaf beside the date and, I'll bet you will get more than 12-15 dollars.

Very hard to see for grading purposes, but likely somewhere between VF20 and EF40
