Tons of silver and 1700's paper currency?

[Mifarmer]

A friend of mines father passed and while going through thing he found this stuff and asked me what it is and it's value but I haven't the foggiest idea, hoping you all can help. The second picture is breathtaking...hopefully I will own all of this soon but we need to figure out what it is and a value

I would say that the colonial notes are modern reproductions, but that sure is a lot of silver!

I am agreement about the reproductions since that envelope says as much. What are in those bags? $100 face of of something gorgeous? That's a batch of silver that I am hoping he didn't overpay for from Shop at Home.
