Taiping is correct. I search coin boxes regularly and though you have some older nickels none of them are particularly valuable. The design of the nickel hasn't changed in quite a long time so it's easy for older coins to remain in circulation.
You have a few wheat pennies ("wheaties"). You'll notice that the design on the back of the penny is different until 1958. Last I checked my local coin dealer was paying 2 cents each for them.
Don't be too discouraged though. If you hang onto them long enough they may be worth something!

I found this online price guide to assist you.. Mostly, nickels and pennies aren't worth very much, unless it's a 1909 Lincoln penny with V.D.B.on it.. Sometimes the pennies are worth a nickel, and the nickels are worth a dime or so.. Sometimes you'll get lucky and one of these will be worth a few dollars.. Good luck though!

You have nothing scarce or rare. PCGS, is a grading service and their pricing is what they think, their graded coins are worth. They are not necessarily tuned into the real world. Mintage figures really went up from say 1939 to present. Not to say that there are not collectibles out there. A lot of people have had to switch from collecting regular issue coins to the Error coins. That is okay for the younger crowd with great eye site but us old timers still stick to the real old and historic coins. In 1980 the U.S. mint decided to put a P on the coins from the Philadelphia mint. All but the cent, from then on have it. There are coins out there, so keep looking for them. get a Red Book A guide to U.S. coins for it lists a lot of the valuable error coins.

spend them - but you know coins don't have to be rare to enjoy them. you can get a coin book and then fill the holes. you may not have anything worth more than face value but then who cares?
