I'm pretty sure the two half dollars have been cleaned (there is grime still in some of the nooks and crannies)

But has this morgan been cleaned? I can't really tell...

Also, what do you guys think it would grade as?

Thanks,

Unfortunately all of the coins have been heavily polished. They are still worth there silver content but sorry to say not much more.
 

He pretty much was saying what I wanted say, the Franklin isn't polished that badly though, on the front... The walker definitely cleaned. Not worth anything more than $6. The Morgan is cleaned and is in XF. Nice coins, bummer they were cleaned though... :'( :( :'( :(
 

Ok, I think I now have a handle on how to tell whether or not morgans have been cleaned. (Unfortunately, a good many of my nicer looking coins are cleaned...but now most are worth about what I paid for them).
I don't feel very confident about some of the other coins though. What about these two?:

Thanks again,

Hard to tell on the Merc, but the Walker is cleaned. The Merc shows a little toning unless its just the light the pic was taken in, so if it was cleaned it'd be a long time ago.
 

Couldn't it have just not developed toning? Is the eagles breast a little too worn for a coin with that amount of luster?

Could very well be so- hard to tell from pics.
