    A good variety in value and as a conversation piece! I found it buying a circ. roll of dollars at that!

    All four of those are narrow rim (far date).

    I wasn't able to zoom the OP's picture on my laptop, but was able to zoom it on my iPhone just now. I agree with everyone else - All of the OP's coins are narrow rim / far date.

    Yes Philly only. 2 of these coins appear to have D mms. You want the date to be as far down as possible. See photo.

    Ha ha, I didn't look at the mintmarks! Looks like the top and bottom ones are Denvers. Automatic disqualification!

    Sorry you are seeing a worn die, Die Deterioration.
    That is not a wide rim.

    The 1 and 9 will almost touch the Rim on WR. Everyone pointed this out already. IMG_20190724_101715720.jpg
