Coins from the 1800s and early 1900s

Are these worth anything (anything more than $1 which is what is stamped on it)? I don't know much about coins and I wouldn't know where to check.
These things are really big. They weigh a lot compared to most other coins. I found them just now.
I put a .50 cents piece on the sides for size comparison.

I know, they were just loose in a plastic bag
I'd sell them if I could though somehow.

that will give you a basic idea on rarity.
also, if any of them are silver.....
i used to be quite into coins....but that last joint is making it very hard to recall anything usefull at the moment......
there are a couple really good coin forums that would really help you out.......ill see if i can find them

the 1967 isn't really worth shit, they're 40% silver, not 90%.
The Morgans and the Peace Dollar might be worth $10-$15 dollars each. The 1884 Morgan maybe $5.
That is unless prices hae gone up much in the last two years. Also, they may be worth more in silver (also don't know silver's worth anymore)
What's that at the bottom of the pic?

Yeah, I just put those half dollars in there for size comparison I figured there weren't worth a damn thing.
Thanks for the info. I'm currently checking some stuff out online... trying to figure out how to use these damn pricing guides.

Dude, those coins are sweet. They aren't rare or anything, but, Im sure they are worth maybe $10-$20. They are definetly pure silver as well. Keep on to them, they'll grow in price over time. Or, you can give them to me
My mom is big into coins... We have a few little coin books. They are like $10 and will list all the coins practically ever made... even dating back to Jesus's time!
I forget the name of the middle coins, maybe liberty head coins?
The one on th ebottom left is in superb condition ...
