The side by side nickels are copper, not silver, but if the '26 has an 'S' mintmark (San Francisco) you have a semi-key (more valuable) dated coin. You may wish to check out Ebay for similar coin prices--based on quality.

If they had belonged to my grand father, I would consider the value "priceless" and keep them in the family.

Just my opinion.

Best thing to do is a quick search on ebay on coins that are acutally selling..You can get a good idea of the worth

 

[cudamark]

Each coin would have to be evaluated on it's own based on year, mint mark, and condition. None of the coins you posted are particularly rare based on year and presumed condition (including the 1883 O dollar) You would need to post good close-ups of both sides of each coin for a better estimate. You may want to get a coin book to look them up yourself or find a web site with that info. Sounds like you might have too many of them to do it here.

[Mackaydon]

They appear silver due to their 25% content of nickel.

Unless you need a few bucks I would keep them in the family. Greatgrand kids will not have many chances to see let a lone touch these coins when they are sold. Just my opinion. Good luck.

Keep them!!!! Keep them all!!!! They all are pretty valuable and will be worth more later on. Just some advice from an amateur coin collector.

Buffalo nickels are not silver.

Buffalo nickels are not silver.

.? That seems like a confident statement?

That is a great find. Although, with the sentimental value, I wouldn't sell them.

Here is a coin book I got on Amazon that will show you how to value the coins.

Amazon.com: The Official 2014 Red Book - Guide to U.S. Coin Values - Spiral Bound: Everything Else

Most people have a tendency to embellish the quality. That is a path to disappointment when grading the quality too high. Of course, I have seen the same in practice at coin shops to inflate the value.

Congrats again. That is a great discovery.
