They all look pretty much flawless, but from what I understand about proofs, which isn't much, these aren't the good ones, so let me know what you think

Research the retail value of each coin. If it is $100 or more then it is worth all expenses involved to have it TPGed.

So these are BN or RD right, and they seem flawless to me. For proofs does that mean 70? Or is that impossible? Also is the 1960 possibly a small date over large date? Here are better pictures

They're beautiful, but having them all holdered will cost you a ton upfront with no guarantee.

They all look like very nice proofs, they should be in Airtite holders. Unfortunately, they are not particularly valuable unless slabbed at least PR-67 or higher. It's usually much cheaper to buy them already slabbed rather than to slab your own.

I'd put them in Airtite or 2x2 holders to protect them. Nice proofs, but not worth having graded by a TPG.

Nice coins but I would not spend the money to have them slabbed. You can usually buy these in TPG holders for less than it would cost you to get these graded.

None of these have a chance of grading 69 or above?
Rest in Peace

Do you have a specific question, other than the grade of these proofs or whether they are TPG-submission worthy?

After all the costs are accounted for - it will cost you somewhere around $50 per coin to have them graded. If you look at the market, this is what you can find:

Sorry I'm very new to this, but I really enjoy it. I realize now I've deteriorated the quality of all these proofs by handling them several times to try to take photos of them, so now I'm really frustrated lol.

I wouldn't say you have ruined these coins, just live and learn. Handle coins with white cotton gloves (available from you local coin dealer) and as already suggested, get these coins into Airtite or 2x2 holders to protect them. You have a nice group of coins to build on!
