If you can clearly see the feathers on the chest on the Morgans and the wings Peace, you have a real nice coin that will command a premium. From what I can see you have three nice ones and one, not so nice. As to what years are collectible, I never paid attention, just looked for wear on the feathers. Have bought and sold many of these coins. I looked for BU and AU only. This is current market from a dealer I use:

All common Morgan dollars worth about $14 or so silver melt, none are mint state from the pics(but hard to tell with poor pics like this), to a collector the 1886 might bring $30+ if it hasn't been cleaned(has what look like a lot of fine scratches that may suggest cleaning). 1891 O is scrap silver so $14, 1989 again is around $30+ hard to tell from the pic but it might have been cleaned too turning it into scrap silver, 1922 peace dollar is again $30ish if it hasn't been cleaned but it looks like it is covered in fine scratches too. All prices would really depend on if a collector needed it. I buy ones like it for $24 a pop if not cleaned just for the silver investment and possible collector down the road.

Ebay is showing $23 low end pricing which is what a coin damaged by cleaning would sell for maximum unless it was rare and none of these are.

Look close, most of them look like they have fine lines suggesting they were cleaned. Kills the value. Unless it is just poor pictures, so hard to grade coins from a pic. Best bet is natural light, black background and angle the camera very slightly so no reflections. These show the mint wheel effect from the lighting and it indicates a good quality coin once graded. Note the scratches are different sizes and random directions, cleaned is usually all same size scratch and same direction of so many directions it looks like it was rubbed with steel wool.
