What do you think they'd grade and what do you think they are worth? Consolidating stuff for other stuff. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Red book doesn't help me figure out the grade. Another interesting thing is the error on the 1948-S reverse to the right of "unum". Any listing on that error?

Seems like too many pages just to find out a grade and much easier just to ask someone's opinion here.
I think the first one is BU...(butt ugly)...sorry, DV, just don't like the look...like a soda was spilled on it.
It is easier to ask here, but then you never truly learn how to grade yourself. And that's half the battle.
Grading is subjective and what one person grades a coin might be different that what the person sitting next to him grades it. We all learn things differently. Buying a book about grading is just that authors opinion on grading. I learn better by posting a photo then asking what it grades at then comparing it to others that are graded at that number. That and the GTG threads.
The money coin in the image you posted is the 1949 S that's the key to this set...... however less than two months ago I could of purchased a 49 S graded by pcgs for under $60 in 66/67 grade. Someone posted the link here that a seller had flooded the market ms-63 - ms-68 49 S Roosevelt dimes . Now understand you have what looks to be some nice toners. Finding a buyer willing to pay for them at retail or above good luck. From what you have posted $150-200.maybe ,a dealer cut that in half . Now those boards you have the dimes in around $20-30 each.
Not so the book Frank pointed out is gospel of grading based on the wear and coin design . So it's not a option it is what is......in here it's all based on opinions. You can see it every time a toned or blast white coin is posted. Some don't like toning so right away they have an attitude against the coin. Regardless if the coin is Au. or ms70
Nice coins! I really love Roosevelt dimes, which is funny because Im not a fan of FDR, at any rate, they are easy to find, and I'm always picking up beautiful BU examples at silver melt prices.
I decided to hold off. If anyone if looking for them they can be found here: https://www.ebay.com/itm/351887305524
