I thought a coin had to be uncirculated to be graded MS. But then, that was an assumption on my part.
Here is the image you requested:

Thank you for the advice. I already had read not to clean them as that would devalue them. I'll get the gloves for handling.
Here's pics of the 4 oldest:

As someone new to coins and just going off of what I could see for grading based on internet sites, I had it as somewhere between Choice Extremely Fine and About Uncirculated. But I am completely untrained and had no good knowledge base to start from in grading.

I'm going back and forth on work/bridge calls today, so I doubt I'll have a chance to post many pics. That was one I had saved on my phone as an example. I have 28 1921 dollars I estimated at that grade. I'll try to get pics of the older ones and post them.
Really just wondering if it's worth getting them professionally valued to prevent a retail store from trying to lowball me if I sell them.

Thank you both for your thoughts. I've actually started an Excel spreadsheet and have all the silver dollars entered based on year, and estimated grade. I just wasn't sure if it was worth investing in grading them or just taking them to a reputable dealer. I understand I'm not going to get actual value, but resale value. I'll see if I can figure out how to add some pics.

My father in law passed away and I inherited a metric crapton of coins. I have gone through the silver dollar so far, here is what I have:

125 Morgan dollars (dated 1878 - 1921 D)
49 Peace dollars (dated 1922 - 1935)
53 Eisenhower dollars

These were stored in coin wraps for decades and never touched. Many of these, when I look under a magnifying glass, appear to be AU quality according to online guides. I'm not an expert, but I have a good eye.
I'm looking for advice. Do I go to a local coin shop and see what they will offer and risk someone trying to take me, or do I need an official valuation before I look to sell them?

I still have half dollars, quarters, dimes, nickels and pennies to go through.
