Choose the Washington / Franklin identifier. This should be of help.

thanks, its helpful but still wasnt able to sort them out and especially see if theres is value to them ..2 are flat kinds and , bluish paper not sure, perforations I kind of get but unless one know the details makes a big difference. then theres the cancel collectors. not sure of potential value , I can take better pictures when I get a scanner,

any experts know how to grade and value these?

Yes, but your pictures are fairly poor, Is there any way you can scan them or at least give us a better focused set? And I possible with a black background,

Peter

Scott catalog at your local Library....It will go into length on grading stamps, then you will discover there is a whole gap between what Scott lists as a value and what one might expect to obtain for these on the market. All of these are not very good examples by the way, and identification from these photos would be difficult/impossible if other factors such as paper type and watermarks are at play. This may take some personal initiative.

1.) #332 or #375-depends upon watermarking. Off-center, pulled
perfs., heavily cancelled. Of no to very little value.

2.) #406, possibly #406a (doubtful). Probably trimmed perfs. on the
left and some clipped perfs. on top. Poor image, can't tell
for sure what's showing about Franklin's head. Of no value.

3.) #426 or #464-depends upon watermarking. Off-center, perfs.
cutting into design on left, short perfs. on bottom. Of no
to very little value.

4.) Probably #634, but not sure. Would need more info.

5.) #707 Off-center. Can't tell much more from the image.
Very little value if any.

6.) #722 Off-center, perfs. cutting into design on right,
trimmed perfs. on the left, piece seems to be missing on
the lower right. No value

Other with more expertize may have more to add or give you a different opinion or more information.
