I don't know too much about halves, myself. However, unless any of those have a mint error or are in perfect condition, then you have a total of $40 there...
1964 and before are 90% silver, and 1965-1970 are 40% silver.

Go to your local coin store, or maybe even bookstore, and pick up a copy of this years Red Book. It's a coin price guide. Also suggested is the Blue book, and the Cherrypickers Guide.

Red Book is retail values for all US coins.

Blue Book is what you can expect to get from a dealer (same guide, prices cut in half)

The Cherrypickers guide is Cent and Nickel errors to look for.

The 1974D could have a premium due to a double die error. Take a magnafying glass and look at the RUS in TRUST on the obverse. If these 3 letters are doubled, then you have a double die error.
