It's very difficult to give adequate evaluations of unseen coins. I can tell you that none of these coins will set you up for early retirement, but, depending on condition, could be worth anywhere from about $15 each to several hundred dollars apiece. I would guess (having not seen the coins) that they aren't at the high end of the range, simply because of the spread in ages indicates that the penny, for sure, will have circulated quite a bit.

If they came out of a cornerstone, it is possible that they have suffered environmental damage over the years. Pictures or scans would be the only way to give an estimate of condition and value.
The dime could have a mint mark. It would be located on the reverse under the wreath and will be either an S or CC. no mint mark means it was minted in Philadelphia, S is for San Francisco, and CC is for Carson City(Nevada). The CC is worth a bit more than the other two while the Philly and S would be worth about the same.
