Thanks so much everyone! I was getting really frustrated looking at random websites. also sorry about posting this twice. I'll post some pics within a half hour. I dont trust coin dealers because I havent a clue what any of these are worth. He has a few copies/replicas, would they be worth anything? thanks for all of your time!

Looks like most of those are European coins, tokens, or replicas, none of which are worth that much. Most of them aren't even silver. However, the 1940 half dollar looks real, and 90% silver. It's worth roughly $10.

I have had luck online researching at http://(131231) Not Allowed - Auto-Removed /

countries of your coins, left to right, top to bottom:
Great Britain, Ireland, Ireland, France, replica of France, Great Britain, next 2 pictures I believe those are presidential medals not coins, next one I know is a souvenir Denver Mint metal, an FDR medal, 1 cent euro (can't tell where from), 20 cent euro, 2 cent euro, Great Britain 1 pound, don't know but maybe Korea, replica US $20 gold piece, US 1940 Walking Liberty half dollar, Switzerland 1968 5 Franc

The tri-fold book of presidential coins is from readers digest
"A Coin History of the U.S. Presidents" inherited a set in about as complete as yours it was pretty hard to get the remaining coins,but I did get it done!

Did I see a double eagle just before the walker? That would be worth a bit.

A good honest dealer (specializing only in coins) will give you a good estimate of retail worth. The problem with that is always the conflict of interest because he will want to buy them from you. Appraisals are tricky. It's best to do your own homework and get a ballpark figure.

Your "double eagle" is in a fishy looking plastic coffin, the kind I've seen used for fake silver coins. Better pics on that one are needed.

Between $20 to $40 so not much value but kind of fun to put together a 15 year old set. Even if they are only tokens.
If you choose to stick around I might have some spares to fill a hole or two!

Oh and
