I have a bunch of Ansel Adams "copy" prints made by Trans American Graphics, Inc.
All prints are labeled:
Ansel Adams
The Mural Project 1941-1942
They are 16x20 and some others that are larger. I have several duplicates...same print in both sizes....just curious to if they are worth a dollar or two?

These images are made from Adams negatives that are owned by the government, the national archives or some such, and prints are available to anyone. They are NOT printed to AA standards and they have very little value in the resale market. They are images he made under contract to the U.S. Government.
For example, here is a database of images from his National Parks series, which may be ordered as prints by the public.
I repeat, these images will NOT be AA-quality prints; what you see is what you get, when you look at the digital database. Here's an example of a shot from Canyon de Chelly; the quality is very poor. Canyon de Chelly Vertical

Let me add that the quality comments I am making refer to what's available directly from the archives. I have not seen the OP's prints.

In addition to the above, many of his images were donated to and are being conserved by the Library of Congress.
Notable among the collections is Suffering Under a Great Injustice -- Adams' photos of the Manzanar Japanese-American internment camp during WW II.
====
In "Suffering under a Great Injustice": Ansel Adams's Photographs of Japanese-American Internment at Manzanar, the Prints and Photographs Division at the Library of Congress presents for the first time side-by-side digital scans of both Adams's 242 original negatives and his 209 photographic prints, allowing viewers to see his darkroom technique and in particular how he cropped his prints.
Adams's Manzanar work is a departure from his signature style of landscape photography. Although a majority of the photographs are portraits, the images also include views of daily life, agricultural scenes, and sports and leisure activities. When he offered the collection to the Library in 1965, Adams wrote, "The purpose of my work was to show how these people, suffering under a great injustice, and loss of property, businesses and professions, had overcome the sense of defeat and dispair [sic] by building for themselves a vital community in an arid (but magnificent) environment. . . . All in all, I think this Manzanar Collection is an important historical document, and I trust it can be put to good use."

The LOC has a lot of other image collections as well.
