    Agreed with @David Betts . The 1907 Barber is in decent shape (VG/F) and should go for a bit of a premium over more circulated examples. For the rest, you would need to post better pictures, including of the reverse, so mint marks can be seen.

    Yes you have something good. You have unimaginable years of history in that collection. As said previously, your Barber quarter appears to be the best in the lot. I see at least on war era nickel that is 30% silver. All the dimes and quarters that are dated 1964 or earlier are 90% silver. That’s a fine collection you have started up there.

    The silver coins are worth something but we need larger pictures and the reverses to be sure. Mint marks on those older issues are on the reverse.

    Welcome aboard, if I haven't already welcomed you.
    In case you missed my suggestions on posting photos, let me do a copy and paste for you.
    For the best results, you should post "in focus," FULL IMAGE photos (after you upload your photo, two buttons appear: Thumbnail and Full Image, click Full Image and your photo appears full size on your post and are easily enlarged by clicking on it). Photograph coins on neutral backgrounds like black, grey, or white. Crop out superfluous background so just the coin shows (you can use https://www.remove.bg for free), and post photos with correct orientation so members don't have to turn their computer in some awkward fashion to view it properly. While it isn’t always necessary, it is nice to show both the obverse and reverse, even if your question is just about one side. Members can often give more valuable information having both sides to evaluate. Add close ups of areas you have questions about and make your questions as definitive as possible so we know what you are asking for. And try to have the best lighting possible to show the most favorable photo of the coin. Hope this helps in the future. Good luck.

    All 90% silver coins are currently at least worth 18 times face value. (fluctuates with the price if silver.) As previously stated, you also have some 35% silver nickels. They are the nickels with the large mint mark above the dome of Monticello .
    Buy a Redbook " A guidebook of United states coins" published by Whitman. Available for about $15 at most any coin store and larger book stores and online. This will guide you in starting a collection. Circulating coins after 1969 do not have silver.

    Now what you need are 2x2 flips to store your coins, helping to preserve them from coming into contact with each other. Remember to store them in a cool, dry place and don't handle them except on the edges. And whatever you do, do NOT clean them, wipe them, or polish them, other than distilled water rinse and air drying. Or you can pat them dry with a soft cloth. Nice Barber!

    That 67 quarter isn’t right and the 3 NEWEST nickels wondering why he saved them. I like your coins.
    Save the 81 nickel. Perfect example on how nickels wear. I want it. I save cents and nickels

    Just had an O and S 1907 in these hands a week ago. They were beat up. But it is what it is. My first touched barber.
