Best advice I can give you is look on eBay and see what they sale for. Look up each coin and look at completed listings. Coins can be worth a whole lot but their value is always JUST what people are willing to pay. Local deals are either REALLY good or HORRIBLE there is no middle ground. The days of finding crazy deals is about far past because the internet has shown a lot of people what things are worth. When buying coins one must always keep this in mind though the coin maybe worth what you pay for it now but does it have potential for growth. Another suggestion I have is get you a red book 2012 this will help you also to see what the coin market is willing to pay. When I first started collecting I tried to learn everything about every coin....mission impossible. The main thing is to keep an eye on what is "hot" and study to key dates in that area. Me personally I choose pennies as my collecting hobby. This does not mean I am not "holding" onto other coins it just means I have more time and effort into pennies. Start small and then work towards the B I G deals. Once you get a diverse collection you had a lot of trading power which most collectors would rather do than sale. I hope this has helped you and just remember we were all new to this hobby at one point. Never get to the point when where you don't ask questions. Knowledge is learned and wisdom is kept! Have a good day and God Bless!

Silver melt value on the 10 Morgans and 7 Roosevelt's is $235.28 That does not include any numeristic value provided they in good shape.As far as the proofs sets I'm not sure about

Here are two sites that can help you figure out the value of what you have.

1st is a silver coin value page --> Current Melt Value Of Coins - How Much Is Your Coin Worth?

2nd is a numismatics coin value --> NumisMedia Online FMV Rare Coin Price Guide Index - Retail Fair Market Value Prices for U.S. Rare Coins - Numismatic Values - the Official Price Guide of NGC and the Collectors Society

Hope these help!
