What's the mint mark on the 1894, and see if the 1911 is a D. Apart from that just check Ebay completed listings for some nice high grade ones like you have. My book is old and puts them on average about $200 each, but they should be higher now.

The quarter eagle is about $175
The half eagles are worth about $325

This is only the bullion spot price. I can't make out any mintmarks or enough details to grade each coin.

Okay, assuming I'm seeing correctly. A $2.50 dated 1911 and $5.00 dated 1900, 1906D, 1901 and 1894. If correct, they are considered "common" dates.

Today the $2.50 has a melt value of $162.10 and each of the $5.00 has a melt value of $324.20 for a total of $1,458.90.

Current Red Book puts the value of the $2.50 in VF-20 at $225 and the $5.00 at $400 each in VF-20. That would total $1825.00

Now, Make sure that dates and mint marks are correct. On the $2.50, if it were a 1911D with a bold mint mark value would be $2,750.00 in VF-20.

That's pretty good. I just looked at my book and it is 2006... quite a difference in the value of gold. Must be a pain for the publisher to constantly have to revise the prices for the common stuff.

What's even worse then 2006, I've had token values from 2002 in my head and just recently looked at a 2011 book and there was quite a difference even in those.
