I have a silver certificate that is 107 yrs. old. I also have some coins from the 1800's. Does anyone have an idea as to where I can look for their worth?

The US coins and paper money comes in various denominations, series/dates, and varieties. These, together with their conditions are the factors that would determine the value of your collectibles. The websites below will put you on the right track:

Well, silver certificates might list how many ounces of silver you own. You can find silver prices online by typing in 'silver price'.
As for the coin... you MIGHT be able to find a site with an approx. value listed, but it could be an old site or innacurate... I think you should talk to a min. of 5 coin dealers to find out the true value. Some coin dealers may give you a low price so they can buy it off you cheaper. So ask around and get multiple valuations.

You can look up the value of the silver certificate in The Blackbook Price Guide to United States Paper Money. You can almost certainly find one in a larger bookstore or library, or you could probably call a library and ask a reference librarian to look it up for you.
For the coins you will find coin shops in most medium and larger cities who will be glad to give you an estimate.
Alternatively you can go to ebay.com and find similar items for sale and the prices for which they are selling.
