Welcome to the "Hobby of Kings!"
All of your coins appear to be in circulated condition, which limits their collector (numismatic) value. The Franklin half dollars are all 90% silver and the silver value alone is worth a little under $6 at today's silver price. The Kennedy and Eisenhower dollars are not silver and would pretty much be worth their face value in their circulated condition.
Kennedy dollars from 1964-70 have silver in them, though 1964 is the only year that is 90% silver and worth the same as the Franklins, the others are 40% silver and worth about $2.50 today.
The Morgan dollar in the corner of your first photo is also silver and depending on the mintmark could have some value, though it looks like it may have been cleaned which again reduces it's collector value...the advice given to all new collectors is "Don't clean your coins." The damage that is done by cleaning them can eliminate any collector value.
show us the reverses (backs) of the silver dollars, 1878 & 1883

@DrWank ...Welcome aboard... ModCrewman has given you a good rundown on the relative value of the coins...Cleaning or circulation definitely impacts value negatively. Do you have a Redbook? That publication is a great resource for beginners. Cheers, RickO
Okay, the dollars are common dates

The crusty Colombian is worth a bit more than melt....but probably not much of a premium as it looks circulated.

I don't have a red book I'll have to pick one up. I appreciate all the info
