Help with assessing general worth

A friend gave me a can of silver coins to look through before he went to cash them in as bullion athe local dealer.

Since I am not a collector of US coins can anyone look over the years below a guide me on which coin years I should spend my time determining value vs accepting a bullion price. I would say most of the coins are XF and higher.

    Nothing much there. Check the '42 dime for the overdate.

    The standing libertys are worth a premium if they have a date. The '06-D half has a premium if it has full rims and little damage.

    There could be other varieties but they may not be worth the trouble of searching.

    Don't clean anything.

    Pretty much bullion pricing, unless one or two really nice-looking ones jump out at you.

    Are the ones listed in the quarter and dime columns all from Philadelphia? The dimes are most likely just bullion, regardless of mint, but some of the early quarters could be worth more if they're really in XF or better ('36-D, '37-S, 40-D). There are also a number of quarters with double dies, although chances of having one are slim.

    If that 06-D Half looks decent it would be worth plenty more than the silver value. PCGS lists a Fine at $55. Try it on the BST!
    Positive BST transactions with: too many names to list! 36 at last count.
