You have some nice Zildjian pies there. Others know the stamps better, so I will not comment on them.
The reason for the tape? 'cos the player wanted to change the sound. When you remove the tape, no doubt will the patina look weird. Resist the urge to polish the cymbals after you remove the tape!!! Goo gone will remove the tape residue.
Your 22" has a pretty large keyhole. Not a deal breaker, but it does significantly reduce it's value. It could be the quality of the pix, as well.

Thank you for you imput! Any idea of what there worth?
Only 14 hi hats are without moon(2nd pic) and others are with moon(first pic)?First one is 70's A. Zildjian Cie and 2nd one is 60's to me.It's hard to say the worth with that limited info.
Correct, the 14" hats do not have the moon stamp, all the other cymbals have the moon stamp on them.
Any other info needed?
Anyone? looking to unload these, thought they were cool to have but could use extra cash! please let me know thanks guys!
Most of them appear to have "issues" with the bell holes. So I guess they're worth whatever anybody will give you for them. Under these circumstances you can't really afford to be too particular about it.
And let me offer you some advice:
Take the duct tape off before you do anything else.
Dude, the duct tape can cause all sorts of problems....residue might not come off....then you have to figure out how to get the residue off without removing the patina. Ugh....you have an ugly task.

For that, there is a nail polish!
That is a tiresome work, though.
