Those half dollars have a net silver weight of .3 troy ounce, the quarters are .15 oz, so as a silver purchase you paid a tad high.
Silver is about $28/oz or so, the 50¢ have $8.40 and the 25¢ have $4.20 worth of silver.
But if these are in proof-like condition, you got a good deal.
BTW, these coins are not proof but probably proof-like uncirculated coins, since proofs were not struck in those years.
