What's the going silver price of common Barbers?

I have a friend whom has a few coins in albums that I haven't graded or checked for varieties yet. I can't find a decent reference for what they are going for raw. I know about checking for varieties, etc. I don't have a gray sheet, Coin World, etc and don't know the buying price of the following. Mainly for silver and/or if there's a value added for collectability. Any assistance would be appreciated in advance. Ray

Barber dimes-looks like average is fine ( about 60)
Mercury dimes in vf-XF ( about 50)
Barber quarters- average grade fine-vf( about 40)
Barber quarters- average is fine( about 35-40)
Barber halves-average fine(about 30)
Morgans-average au-MS 64( about 70)
Peace dollars- average xf9 about 30)
Plus misc coins, 1797 1/2 cent in good, 1911 $5 in AU, several half dimes, 1830-1870 dimes, book of half cents, book of large cents, book of Indians, etc. Found a couple 1972 type 2 Ike's in AU-hundreds of regular circulated along with hundreds of Kennedys.
Thanks. Ray
Here's a couple of examples. Yes they are all in the same albums.

    Not as funny as I thought at first.
    Just because I'm old doesn't mean I don't love to look at a pretty bust.

    I think you need to check for better dates.....you may want to track down a Greysheet to give you an idea of the going prices.
    Better date problem free Barbers should command a premium.

    Would really like to see the Barber Quarters, 1797 half cent, half cent book, cent book, Bust half dimes and dimes. Numismeida.com would give you a decent idea of retail prices.

    Their prices seem quite a bit off for VF Barber quarters. Id pay twice their amount for undamaged of 1909-O and 1897-S quarters for starters.

    78-CC = 64
    80-S = Genuine Scratched (unless that's just a toning issue, need to see from another angle)
    79-O = 63+

    "He who loves silver will not be satisfied with silver, nor he who loves abundance, with increase. This also is vanity.
    When goods increase, they increase who eat them -- so what profit have the owners, except to see them with their eyes?"
    "Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: fear God and keep His commandments, for this is man’s all.
    For God will bring every work into judgment, including every secret thing, whether good or evil."
    "Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No man comes to the Father but by Me."

    78-cc and the 79-o look like nice coins, this deal might have some goodies in it, I love for somebody to come by with that vs all the junk I normally see
