Wow. That's a pretty nice little inheritance. I'm surprised nobody responded to you yet.

First off, is there a letter listed next to the date on the label that would indicate the mintmark?

Where they were made will affect their prices signficantly. You can also look at the mintmark yourself to verify. It would be located on the reverse, directly under the branches in the eagle's claws. If there's no letter there, than the coin was made in Philadelphia and NGC won't have a letter listed on the label either.

(Philly was the first and has always been the main central mint so it was always assumed that a coin was produced there unless it was identified by mintmark from one of the branch mints)

As far as posting pics, yes, it would help because eye appeal plays a big roll in what a coin is worth. There are ugly MS coins and premium quality MS coins and people will pay accordingly, one way or the other from list prices.

For selling, you're in luck because gold hit a new all time record high today at $1,086 an ounce. So you couldn't have picked a better time to sell, regardless of whatever happens down the road. You will likely receive a significant premium over what the former owner paid.

Each one contains 0.48 (basically half an ounce) of pure gold. Meaning all of them are at bare minimum worth $543 today. But MS-63 is a higher than average grade for this series so they will have 'significant' numismatic premiums above that.

Give us pics and mintmarks and we can give you a better idea. I'm interested to see them now.
