The painted coins are actually considered a bad thing to do to a coin. It adds no value. Although a soak in acetone removes the paint. There may be peopleon ebay who would go for it, but I have a feeling it would not go for more than silver content. Normally the Walking Liberty one oz. coins (called American Silver Eagles or ASEs) bring a premium over silver spot prices.
As to gold plated coins - again - nothing special. So little gold it makes no difference in price.
State Quarters - unless the special, mint-issued silver ones - are worth a quarter.
When you google US Commemorative Coin Gallery you come up with a website that gives you very little value for the prices they charge. I fear, from the painted coins, the half dollar rolls , etc., this gentleman was thinking he was getting valuable collectibles, but like a lot of people, was likely spending way more than the pieces could ever be worth. I see on the website right now , for example, they are selling rolls of Kennedy halves for 39.00 each. So you get 10.00 worth of coin for 39.00 and shipping.
Although since 2002 the halves made by the mint have not been for general circulation, they are also not hard to find - search ebay for tons of them. And I also have found over 300 of these in bank rolls when looking through boxes of halves.
Although I looked just now and saw see on ebay rolls 2011a selling for 20.00 - so a chance, maybe to double the money. But seeing as these are not marked from the mint, but e third party, I don;t know if people will pay that much b/c mint rolls were packaged at the mint and may contain some halves in very nice condition. The rolls you have may might not be uncirculated coins (hence small marks and nicks on them from circulation). I know if I wanted a good roll of these, I would go for a US mint roll.
I hope this all helps. Keep the questions coming

They came from the US Commemorative Gallery. I admit, I don't even know where to look, but I can't find an indication of where they were minted. Were they just put out by the Gallery?
