Pretty sure these are authentic. Thoughts on condition and general values. I found a ton of coins in my uncles storage unit and I've learned a lot about coins over the past week but still unsure of some values.

At first glance they look authentic. Better/closer photos with less glare, would help. There is a grading forum on the site. If you start a thread for each coin, there are lots of people who will nail down the grade for you. Looking forward to seeing more of your storage unit finds. The 1875 CC looks a bit more worn than the others. Just throwing a dart, the values can range from a couple of hundred to several hundred each. Nice coins, and welcome again to the forum.

Ill post bigger pictures in a little while plus some of the other coins I found. To my knowledge they weren't cleaned because I'm sure my uncle wouldn't have done that, he was meticulous about collecting.

They look to be in the VF range, maybe XF on the '75 S. Possible old cleaning on one or two of them, not saying your uncle did it. Research the values. At least $100+ on each.

IMO the first 2 are cleaned, third might be, third is original.

1) XF Details Cleaned
2,3,4,) VF Details Cleaned.

I would value each of the coins in the $100 range. It was common for collectors in the 50's 60's and 70''s to clean coins. From your photos I am not seeing hairlines from cleaning, but the coins have an appearance of of a cleaning. Cleaning or not your coins are still nice classic examples of the Trade dollar. A lot of history behind the Trade dollar.

Agree with slider. All the coins look cleaned/polished and I'd be surprised to see any in a non-Details slab.
Around $100 each like the others have been saying.

The good news is that Trade dollars are desirable. If you sold them on ebay you might do well.

Can someone please tell me where to get a Trade dollar for $100 in the condition of these coins? I have been watching for one for my yep set and I have not seen anything in that price point for that type of condition. The ones for $100 or less are holed, have graffiti or are damaged. The 1875 S could probably go for around $250.

You are correct. I'd rather be a bit conservative when I tell someone what their coin is worth. Like I said, Trade dollars are desirable, and OP could do well selling them. Don't forget ebay + paypal fees are 13%+. Just don't bring them to a pawn shop
