The '11-D and '08 #1 are the keepers, IMO.

1911-D without a doubt for one.

Second is tougher - I think in-hand it'd be easier to tell. A couple seem to have better luster than the others, but I'm not sure how distracting some of the marks would be in person. I'm leaning towards 1927 though.

the 11D and the 2nd saint in the pictures seem to be in better condition than the others.

Definitely keep the 1911-D which IMO is the only one possibly worth sending in for a grade. Of the others, I'd keep the 1925 because it is presentable and because you don't see that date quite as often as the 1908 No Motto, 1924, and 1927.
Rest in Peace

I agree with Jaobler, like the 1911-D and 1925 the best. If you were to keep one of the 1908s, please keep the second one. It has better eye appeal and is much tougher than the "no motto" 1908. The 1927 looks ok too.

The 1924 and 1908 "no motto" are at the very bottom, so don't keep those. They don't appear to have luster, which means they have likely been cleaned. Also, the 24 and 1908 "no motto" are THE 2 most common saints and they would have the smallest premium over melt.

Congrats on the 1911-D; even though this date is pretty common in choice uncirculated the MS-64 is a very respectable grade. You done good!
