USA silver

i've been given some very nice silver coins from the US and one is a 1945 merc dime with a strange mintmark, it looks like a "W" the others are an almost uncirculated 1936 quarter, a 1951 quarter, 1961 nickel and a 1957 nickel both with denver mint marks. a i don't own a red book and can't really be bothered to wade through the krause, anyone any ideas about these coins?

As for the Mercury dime, the W is not the mintmark. The mintmark is on the back to the bottom left of the torch.
The quarters are probably worth 8-10 dollars depending on grade and the nickels are worth 5 cents a piece unless they are in mint state.

 

if you are looking to get rid of them john i would be up for a swap

 

If you look closely, the "W" you see on the obverse is actually an "AW" which are the initials of the designer, Adolph Weinman.
