They all look like fairly common types and dates, nothing particularly "awesome". Alot of the stuff is very recent. Is it possible to find the previous owner and return them?

They bought the house in 2016 after the previous owner passed away. He was unmarried and lived there for over 30 years.

The silver coins dated prior to 1965 are worth at least their silver value (about 12x face value). The enclosed coins are called "proof" coins and are common collectibles. There may be some collectibles hidden inside some of the rolls of coins.

Definitely an exciting find.
Looks to be in total a few hundred dollars worth of coins. As mentioned above, nothing rare and mostly modern. But there's quite a bit of silver there.
Without being able to zoom in on your pictures, and see everything in detail, my guesstimate is $500 value. You could bring it all to a coin shop, or spend the time to learn about it. You will likely get a little more value out of it when you know more about what you have, and you will (hopefully) enjoy the learning.
Either way, congrats.

To CCF , There's nothing better than to find a coin collection hidden in a house . You already have a nice accumulation of coins there . Keep it going and branch out to some Classic U.S. coins ; It will take you on a ride of your life .  |

I'd say a value of around $750-$1000 based on ebay averages. Most of the 2000 and up sets sell between $35-60, the 2012 is easily $100 plus. Silver proofs are higher. The individually assembled Kennedy sets another 75 or so, depending on the grades. In other words, pick what you're looking for and scroll the web site.

Invest in a metal detector to search behind those walls for gold and silver bars!
