The condition of the coins and the mint marks indicating where they were made are important. For instance an 1879 dollar with a CC mint mark in like new condition is worth thousands of dollars. If if doesn't have a CC mintmark and is worn it is worth about $15, the most likely scenario. The 1880 is about the same. The 1945 penny is worth about $5 if it has seen a lot of circulation, which is likely. If it looks like new it is worth $50. The wheat backs are probably only worth about a nickel apiece. 1909SVDB, 1941D, and a few other dates are worth a lot more.

I assume the 1845 cent is the large cent? It has some value depending on its condition. Wheat pennies aren't worth alot except for a few key dates and the 1879 and 1880 dollars have a little value if they're in good shape or have a "cc" mint mark.

Go to a place that sells magazines, a Wal-mart will do. Get a copy of Coinage or Coins magazine. They have a price guide and will help you. The prices are a little higher than what a dealer sells coins for but it is a good guide to tell which coins are valuable. If a coin lists for $50 in grade good you know it has value but is it list for .50 you know it is not worth much. Coin dealers sometimes have inexpensive price guides check them out.
