Got these coins from my Grandma today. Not sure if it is worth sending in for a grading? Any insight is appreciated.

Thanks from Wisco.

None of the three coins are worth sending in. The Morgan has been harshly cleaned.

you have a few circulated common coins. the kennedys are 40% silver so they have value for that. the morgan is harshly cleaned which kills collector value but still has value for the silver as well. probably $25 or so

Genuinely curious. How can you tell if a coin is cleaned? I assume my Grandpa at point must have cleaned.

Mainly by the hairline scratches and many years in the hobby.

this is a very easy on tell it was cleaned. the obverse is the most obvious. look closely at the entire surface of the coin. there are what is called hairline scratches across the entire surface running horizontally
