Thank you Jadey, that is some sound advice. I'll check for key dates and post the results. Could take me a few days.

Jimbucks, sorry that I'm not a serious numismatist; I came here to get help from experts like you. The internet does allow for quite a bit of anonymity, and I'll bet you get random cranks on this site all the time, but my statement of why I am posting here is legitimate. For what that's worth.

Thanks again everyone! I may need to dig out my old collection and pick up the hobby again!

Appraising a hobby is a rather difficult undertaking. Essentially, after all, that's what coin collecting is. However, unlike baseball cards or Cabbage Patch dolls, coin collecting has always been a relatively stable hobby in which insurance companies rarely say no to. Most home owner policies would include these. That said, and like you asked for, a ball park would be $30 per silver dollar. The others? Dependent upon what's there, I'd throw out a total value at $1500. Some will say that's high. I would say that's based on a reasonable 15% future increase over the policy term. Always go higher than what you could buy them for. But not ridiculously so.

I think scanning price guides for all the collections is a good idea. You seemed to indicate that these are collections possibly close to completion, which means that there could be some really valuable "smaller" coins.
The best coins can also be removed and put in a safe deposit box. I know you don't want to spend a lot of time, but it would be a good idea to make a list of the select coins, along with approximate grades. PCGS photograde is good for that.

I found another resource to grade and price these. Since I didn't get a great reception here, I'm out.

Thanks for those that were helpful.

Without a lot of detailed information, such a guess would be just a guess. It is much better to simply get a Red Book and scan through it for approximate values. Some may be a lot higher than you think. Problem is if the intent is selling them, it could take a lot of time.
