Make a list of what coins are in the bags.
US 90% silver coins were produced in 1964 and prior. Dimes/Quarters/Half dollars have a dual value - numismatic (rarity and condition) AND a silver bullion value.
40% US silver coins are in the same category.
Buffalo nickels WITH dates command a higher premium for common dates than "no date" buffalo nickels.
Lincoln WHEAT cents (two wheat ears on the reverse), minted between 1909 and 1958, command a slight premium over face value - generally, 3 to 6 cents per coin, again, depending on condition. Of course, some dates and mintmarks have a numismatic value as well.
Whatever you do, do NOT take to the local pawn or coin shop until you figure out what you have.
Pictures would help you on this site. |

At least you got the items back.
During a previous secret santa participation, I sent a package overseas as well. Person said they never received. Secret Santa accused me of not sending anything. Have not participated since. |

Of interest to coin collectors. Very old and VERY heavy safe made it thru the worst fire. Home was reduced to less than rubble. Old safe made it with contents.
BOLT the safe down. Add a layer of sheetrock, green sheet rock, or cement board to the sides and double the thickness on the top of modern safes - regardless of fire rating.
