A list will only be partially helpful because a coin's condition and mintmark will play huge roles in value. Most mintmarks will be a D, S, O, or CC and P for modern coins but that has only been used fairly recently(except for nickels from the WWII era with a very large mintmark, you would not be able to miss it). Older coins without a mintmark are almost always minted at Philadelphia. Pictures of both sides of the coins would be the best way to judge value.

Here is a link to a reasonable good retail value listing for U.S. coins.

As you will see, the grade (condition) of the coin makes a huge difference when estimating value.

Might as well stick around here and find out the real values of your coins. As noted try taking some photos and posting them here. If not, post the list. If not, just keep asking about the coins.
