To put it simply, your collection is worth whatever someone will give you for it. There is some lower limit, just because there are precious metals involved.
Gold is currently worth $950/troy ounce. Your 5 dollar gold piece is worth over $100 just for the gold content. Hint: gold prices are expected to continue to rise due to inflation.
Your “silver” coins are not all pure silver. depending on the year and denomination, they may be 90% or even 75% silver. Silver is worth roughly $24/troy ounce.
The other things are of interest only to collectors, so I cannot estimate their value. You could look at similar offerings on E-bay or visit a coin shop.
You only included some of the information. An important part is the mint mark.
For instance a 1909 S vdb penny is wort over $4000.00 without the vdb it is only worth around $800.00.
Suggest you the collection to a coin dealer. Have it examined and get the estimate there.
This is my help from Washington, D.C. United States of America.
500 Dollars
The Sac,SBA and Ike dollars are worth a dollar, they have no collectors value in circulated condition at this time. The 1966 Kennedy 1/2 is 40% silver and is worth the silver value the others are worth the 50 cents. I already told you about the Walking Liberty 1/2. The 1880 & 1921 Morgan dollars as well as the 1923 Peace dollar are worth $14.50 to about $16 in circulated grades no matter what the mint marks are except if you have an 1880-CC Carson City then it’s value is $130.00 and up. The Bicentennial coins are only worth their stated vaule unless they are the special silver ones with the mint packaging. The 1913 1/2 is worth $60 and up with no mint mark and the D & S $12 and up. Mint mark is on the reverse at bottom. The 1898 1/4 is worth $3.50 and up nomint mark, the ) $10 and the S $7. The 1911 dime $1.70 and up no matter what the mint mark. The 1913 TY-2 Buff $6.75 and up, The 1930 & 35 .65 and up. 1888 Indian cent $1.50 and up and the 1901 $1 and up. The 1884 V nickel $16, the 1891 $4 & the 1901 $1.25 all and up. The 1911 $5 indian $295.00 in grade extra fine and up from there. When I say up the bottom line value given is for grade good to very good and if in a higher grade then they are worth more. Values are about what a dealer would pay.
