  goto your local bookstore (if you have one) and buy a US coin book that will give you rough idea of the value

  Pictures would help, but in lieu of that, if they are "normally" worn coins, well circulated, which would be my guess, for the most part, there would be minimal value in them.

  I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

  The first three coins are likely worth a few bucks. As for the others...
  
  Put it this way, just like baseball cards, condition is CRITICAL!

  Understood thank you. I appreciate it. I know the 1950 D Nickel is a little tough to find as well. Others have said $50 range tops. That is more than I thought originally so thank you for the help.
  
  
  
  
  
  Edit: If anyone is interested id sell them all plus a bag of wheat pennies for $40 dlvd. Thanks

  I didn't see the 50-D Jeff. Yes, that one is worth a few bucks as well. But again, condition will greatly influence value.

  That little collection, combined with coin book holders would make a great graduation gift for a kid who might have an burgeoning interest in collecting coins. I was lucky enough to start out collecting that way. If you were to put those coins (assuming that they are mainly in circulated condition) in a cloth bag or small tin container, combined with the books, this gift could really get someone started in coin collecting.

  As stated, there are two kinds of rarities with coins.
  
  1) Mintage rarity - The fewer minted makes them more valuable. For example a 1909-S VDB (San Francisco mint) is much more valuable than a 1909 VDB (Philadelphia mint) because fewer were made in San Francisco.
  
  2) Condition rarity - This applies to both low and huge mintages. The nicer a coin is, the more it is worth. Coins are graded on a scale between 1 and 70 with numbers below 60 are circulated.
  
  So it looks like you got them from a series collector of Lincoln Cents and Jefferson Nickels. That is someone who collects all the dates for a given series. As you can see they are not complete.
  
  The value is minimal, I'd say $25 - $40
  
  I think the best thing to do is get an album and give it to a kid along with the coins and maybe you can turn them into a coin collector.

  Finally! At least one person mentioned it. The "variety/error coin" aspect. This might be confusing to the OP, but if you only knew the cherrypicking game, your collection might be a whole lot more valuable than just $40-$50! One coin can be worth that much? Check for a variety book or error coin book. Than look up your coins. Good Luck regardless if you choose to go that route or not. Ex: 1955 DD Cent (DD meaning, Double Die, The date Doubled) 1936 DD Cent, 1944d/s mint mark Cent and 1939 Nickel ( The word, Monticello-doubled) These are just the main ones.
  One more thing... Com'on over to our coin forum! I too used to collect baseball cards, but I found coins to be more interesting and more fun. Try it.
