David- your coins can be divided into two groups: silver and non-silver. The current silver spot price is about $40 an ounce, meaning your silvers dimes and halves are worth roughly 29 times face value. The silver dollars are worth a tad more, maybe $35 each. The nickels are marginal and worth a few dollars, and the large cent is worth $10 and up depending on condition (the condition of the silver coins is irrelevant). Based on a quick calcuation, the retail value of that group is somewhere in the $550-600 range, and if you sell to a dealer figure you will get less than $500. That's a reasonable ballpark estimate.
Correction: I don't know if your 1857 penny is a large cent or a flying eagle cent. If it is a large cent it's a scarce date and could be worth $100-300 depending on condition. If it's a small cent figure $20-50, depending on condition.
