I was considering having these graded and I would be very interested in anyone's thoughts and observations. Thanks.

They all look AU to me. If there is luster present, these are probably moderately attractive. A scan tends to show a dull, flat looking coin, so I'm interpreting these images.

 

The 1886O is worth about $130.

1895O - $1200 (no, that's not a typo)

1896O - $150

1897O - $125

1903O - $350

 

As you can see, the 95O and 03O are worth submitting, the other three are not. The 95O in particular is a very desirable coin.

Those are either high end AU, or nice MS coins, If you combine them into one submission they are worth it. Remember that New Orleans coins usually have the worst strikes, which pass for wear, when they are really Mint State.

That's very interesting about the O weak strikes- I am going to look again at the rest of the dollars in this group- there are about 25 in the group and they are all "O" mint marks- Mark, the gentleman that assembled these originally, likely in the late 60's or early 70's, either assembled or bought a set of these "O" mint marks. Not sure why. Wish I had all of that collection but most of it sold off years ago by my Aunt.
