I have a couple hundred stamps I am looking to id. I have been through the Scott's books and various websites but am clearly not an expert on stamps and with so many variations and similarities I am just overwhelmed. I got this collection from my great grandmother. I will post pictures in bunches please help me to id these and let me know if there are any with any potential value over a couple of dollars. If there are ones that you would like a closer shot of, I will take a close up and will post in a new thread. I know of no easier way to do this. And can't seem to find a trust worthy stamp collector in my area. Thanks for your help!!

The second row are all from the series issued from 1908 to 13, with the exception of the larger blue coat of arms from 1917.
The top row are more difficult as you say. These earlier series depend mainly on colour of numerals and whether or not they have varnish bars. The square frame (second from right) is probably a SC#92, since it has coloured numbers, as opposed to black or white. The square frame were only used in later issues of 1905-07.
They do have some nice cancels and that should also help. For example the bluegreen stamp second from left top row is postmarked in 1892, so that would make it a SC#53 (assuming that's a 3, it's difficult to tell).
Another determining factor is the denomination. The earlier issues, up to 1891, used the kreuzer where as issues starting in 1899 used the heller.
Lots to think about.
Still, mostly minimal value.
