Discovered coins in "junk" silver bag!

I need some help from you pros. Last week I took delivery of a bag of "junk" silver quarters. Of course I decided to open it and check it out. The bag of quarters was very interesting. Out of the 4,000 coins I set aside a few. There were 10 1958 in what I would grade MS 65++ condition and 6 1958 D's in same condition. Not low mintages, but extremely nice condition considering they came from a bag.

There were also a lot on 1964's in MS++ condition that I just put back in the bag. Like maybe two rolls minimum.

I am including six pictures for you to look at. The 1949 D is frosty and lightly toned front and back with light cinamon color. The 1958 is blast white with a bit of toning down by the date. The image of the 1958 looks like it is blotchy and brownish, but I am telling you that it is pristine in the hand front and back. The 1955 D is highly toned front and back. Almost looks like a gold coin. Light cinnamon color.

Now, what is your opinion using these ameturish photos? Grade and value if you would please. And...what would you do with them. I am considerinng sending them off to be professionally graded. As to the others still in the bag...like the 1964's, what would you do? Would you sort them back out? Thanks for your help and advice.

This coin is blast white in hand and appears near perfection. The lighting makes it appear yellowish. It isn't.



This one IS heavily toned front and back in a light cinnamon color. Looks almost like a gold coin!
