All Morgan Dollars and Franklin Halves contain 90% silver. 1964 Kennedy Halves contain 90% silver, and 1965-1970 Halves contain 40% silver. You can find the silver value of your coins at this website: Generally, US 90% silver coins sold on eBay realize around 90-100% of the values listed on that website, less shipping fees and eBay/PayPal fees involved in selling these coins. I don't recognize the Britannia coin from the description. If, however, it looks exactly like or similar to one of these coins, then it may be one of the 1 Troy oz. bullion coins from the UK, with various designs featuring the Lady Britannia: These coins are both valuable for their silver content and to collectors, as they have relatively low mintages. They usually sell for $20 and up on eBay.
