Pre 1903 where they changed the buttplate. Post serial number with last 2 as X's and I can get the DOM.
There will be 2 holes in the tang for a peep sight. Holes on top or left side detract value. I will guess $750 to $1200.
The bore looks rough at the muzzle. Starline makes brass along Winchester and Remington. There are 2 levels of 32-20 your rifle can handle either. If the bore is rough jacketed bullets will be better than lead. I see loaded ammo at most gunshows and occasionally at gunstores.
Marlins are about the easiest leverguns to break down for detailed cleaning. I suggest removing the stock and relieve tension on the mainspring as your first step. Lots of info on YouTube on disassembly.

If I buy any of them I’m going to clean them up I’m just trying to get a rough value right now to give a price to family mom wants me to offer them to family first.
Honestly I may just buy all of them why I don’t know I like guns new and old just not into them much even though I’ve got two gun safes full I’ve got so many other things going i just don’t have time to enjoy the hobby
I bought a bunch of dads other guns some older some new figured value is not going down like the stocks I own
If things get tough when I get older and need cash I can sell them as needed hopefully that won’t happen but you never know what life is going bring till it happens

Your serial number puts it made in 1902.
The holes will be on either side of the Marlin 1894 on the tang. Just behind the hammer. That is the factory rear sight.
The top of the receiver should say Marlin Safety.
