Hello! Looking for help identifying these, and wondering if any one of them is more special than the other. Thank you for your time!

None are really special. Even though most are fired I see a few regular 3 ringers, Sharps, a tie ring Sharps a few Williams cleaner bullets an enfield and one that looks like it be carved #9. Looks like they were all nailed to a display board.
 
No super winners as ucvrelics stated.There are many books describing bullets & cartridges. This one is no to costly. "The Handbook of Civol War Bullets & Cartridges" by James & Dean Thomas. Ebay or other sources, $15-25 approx.
 
Thank you @ucvrelics and @JOHN42768 ! I was using an online book, but got overwhelmed as they all look the same to me, with only slight differences. I agree about being nailed to a board, only that was some time ago, since they were wired to a board when I got them. Shame, because the display was pretty cool, only it had a lot of water damage, so I removed them. Thank you, again for your help!
 
There were over 400 different bullets used during the CW. The collecting of CW bullets is a category all its own.
