First thing is to check the dates at PCGS website. If nothing great then group / separate them and send to auction. Coin prices are high.

Blue are silver - the two upper ones very old and valuable, purple are copper but nowadays a great collector’s coin, green might be a three-legged buffalo nickle - if so it’s very valuable. Above websites in combination with Google and Google Lens are your best friend in this case. Or Maktun and Coinscope apps. Only collect 900+ silver coins (and old Canadian), so I can’t say much about the other coins.

The blue coin you have circled on the upper right (date 1819) is a Matron head large copper cent, not silver. Also respectfully disagree that the buffalo nickel is three legged (R fore clearly visible in the picture).

OP your best bet is to invest in a coin valuation guide such as this:

Thanks for sharing that. Years ago we were at an estate auction. The heat index went to about 106 degrees and most people left. I bought a 5 shelf unit that had a lot of old papers and two depression glass platters showing on top. I paid $2.00 for the entire thing and hubby was saying we aren’t hauling all of that when the youngest son came in from taking something to the truck and said not to throw anything away because he had just found an entire sock full of wheat pennies. So we sweated and loaded it all. Back home on the screened porch I found boxes of coins—including 113 Indian Head pennies. There were other American coins as well as a good many foreign coins (ex-military). Excluding the wheat pennies, it took a man’s large shoe box to hold them. They are still stacked around here. It seems the Indian Head cents are selling for more since I last checked. Cool!

You could always find some old leather and make little cuffs like this one …

And sell them for even more :grin:

Sorry if some guesses were wrong. It’s required to have basic details to say what is what. Like weight and diameter as well as thickness. And if it’s magnetic. Best is to have it in hands.
