    What do you mean by appraised?

    Sorry I just learned that the term would be "grade"

    No, sorry to say having them graded would be far more than they're worth if done by a respectable company. There are services on the market that will grade and encapsulate a single coin for $10 or so total, but the only 2 companies worth their salt are NGC & PCGS both of whom charge quite a bit more.
    Your coins are all worth around $4 each give or take. Good rule of thumb is coins worth less than $100 aren't worth the fees :-(

    I wouldn't grade them. It doesn't appear that their condition is high enough where the increase in value by having them graded would exceed the cost to have them graded. Unless you want to store them away for 20 years and see if the older (by that time) label/slab brings in a premium. Then you would just be speculating.

    Ah, gotcha. The cost of grading wold out weigh the value of these after grading. State quarters esepically. For the silvers, you need to have a key date in decent condition to MS, or a common issue in something higher than an MS66 to justify the cost of grading.

    I don't see anything worth grading.

    I see that you got pretty much the same answers here that Books and I gave you in the other thread.

    Before you begin submitting coins for grading (and possibly wasting money) I think you need to learn more about grading coins. "Shiny" doesn't mean a coin is worthy of grading. I think you should purchase a copy of the "ANA Grading Standards for United States Coins" to get you started.
