If they are common run of the mill silver coins ie coins from the 40s through 64 then they are worth about 9 times face on Ebay. If they are collectable coins you can find the values at this site.

What an appraiser says they are worth and what the market is willing to pay are two entirely different things. Any pawnbroker can give you a price... but someone dealing in coin collections would be a better option. To find out what they are truly worth, why not see with one of the world's largest markets: eBay. You won't need to sell your coins either... just make your reserve a million dollars or some crazy high amount. Be sure to include close-up photos... the true collectors won't bid without seeing both sides of the coin clearly.

Look on ebay "completed" auctions and find similar coins to see what they are selling for. If you find them to be of extremely high value, consult a grading expert. If you cannot find them on ebay and/or feel they may have value, consult an expert that has a "grading" reputation like www.numistrust.com.
Once you have determined you have something special, you should be more interested in having them graded by a respected firm as that will be more important than someones opinion of value. You can use a professional grading service to help you achieve a fair price for the item.
Also, beware of someone telling you what your silver is worth and then offering to buy them from you. Instead, find out what you have, get them graded and sell them yourself on ebay or through a reputable auction house that specializes in coins as they will have a strong list of buyers for your items.

The poster "Timmymac65" is on the right track, look at eBay, and other sources to compare your coin to what others are getting for it, as coins are like most collectibles, they are ONLY worth what someone is willing to pay for them, meaning it doesn't always matter how special SOME coins are, if no one wants to buy them! :)

The easiest way is to take them to a coin dealer. If they are valuable then they wil ltell you if not they will buy them for scrap silver. I'm assuming these are probably scrap silver and not collector quality. if they are collector quality then there are price guides you can purchase to give you a rough idea. Hope this helps.
