You can get a rough idea of value by compiling a list of the date and mint for each coin. Then look them up in a price guide like the Red Book or the PCGS website. It’s hard to tell the grades from those pictures, but they look pretty decent. So, you can start by looking at AU grade pricing, maybe AU 55.
As you will see from the price guides, the value goes up quite a lot if they are higher grade. But I’d say don’t get your hopes up for higher prices unless you get an expert to look at them. Either with better pics here on the forum, or at a local coin shop (which would be my recommendation). Just don’t take them to a pawn shop since they will probably only look at the value of the silver.
Here’s a link the the PCGS site:

Minimum of $250, max around $3000. D and S mintmarks drive up the value on most years. Most have the look of being legit and not cleaned. Redbook and PCGS photograde can narrow it down. GL

Does it include moderns?
Just those ten
With the 1921 (worth $100 plus) included, $250 is too low, even as a conservative minimum.

none look cleaned
the pics aren't good enough to grade with. can you determine approximate grade?
28-(P) is the key date and the 1921 is highly sought after because it is a 1 year type coin done in high relief.
I got lazy. here is the mintage chart from wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peace_dollar
Peace dollars are funny. Many issues are common and inexpensive in circulated grades but very valuable in Mint State. This includes essentially all of the San Fran issues, especially the 34-S which is easily the key date in Mint State. Apart from the 1928, most of the Philly issues are common. The Denver issues are in-between.
I've purchased many sets like yours. For most of them, the majority of the value will be in the 1921 and 1928. Every once in a while a set like that will have a nice scarcer date that can surprise you.
I know the pictures are not the best they were sent to me. Im gonna go meet the guy and take better pics. Its someone I met and they are trying to sell this. He was asking 1500 but I think he is negotiable. He doesn't understand grades or coins so im gonna get some better pics and estimate grades then go from there
What about the 1921?

at 1500 you're taking a big risk there's the coins @BryceM mentioned are in there and at great grades.
21 is $100 and more. if the 22 and 23 are not in superior grades then you're looking at silver value to $50 each. the rest are grade dependent too. but can you grade them enough to know you've got $1300 of value? it is too great of a risk to pay such a large sum. at 1500 you're paying an average of 150 each. look at ebay "sold" items and see what it takes to get $150 or more on average for each.
So far my grading estimates have been pretty good. I met the guy at the coin shop and got to see in person for a couple minutes. I got his number and when he got home he sent me those pics. I checked the 21 and the 28. I definitely think they both hit au 58. I already checked the ebay sold listing for both of those. They are selling for roughly between 350 and 500
if you don't think they go details...
but you still have to price out the rest. most look like they have good mint luster
sounds like a test of the negotiations
where did he get them?
Those and a bunch of other really nice stuff left to him from hus grandfather's passing
21 is more than 100

i see that now. even au details go for more than a simple 100+
but, i wonder how they'd do if they were scratched
still I think they have collector value. I would buy a scratched peace for 100+ idk about u tho

I just tried to keep it as simple as possible. I wouldn't give a details 1921 the time of day.

Despite your unwillingness to give a details 1921 Peace dollar the time a day, a problem AU example is still worth $100+. And it hasn’t even been established that the one posted here has detail-grade issues.

Updated pics
Peace dollars are one of the most common US coins around. There is plenty of price guide and real sales information for every date. You have the same images we do and the images aren't that good.

It’s a function of grade and price. Happy research.
Peace $ one of my fav of sets.
the 1928 is damaged and has a fingerprint
1921 obverse right side. looks like it is scratched in a circular fashion
About $500

AU details both to start, to finish we'd need to see both sides
are you sure the 1928 isn't a 28-S or something ?
It's a year set, so definitely check to see if the '28 is an S mint mark.
That doesn't look like a '28 P.......
To be honest I have not done anymore investigation on these. The guy just wants to much im starting to believe
It looks to me that the '28 is an S mint and the '34 is a D.
and the holder can be remade today easily and cheaply, so that's not even a factor capital plastics
with it being a 28s plus damaged, and the 21 looks maybe maybe scratched, i agree. there's a grand canyon's difference value and asking price. old isn't always valuable
