anyone got any knowledge with this stuff.....

As for valuating them, try a couple of coin/stamp shops and maybe a couple of Auction houses aswell and ask what they'll give you, that should give you an idea and recover any gems in there

If these are uncirculated coins in cases.. don't take them out and put your fingers on them.. that'll decrease their vallue quite a lot.. Also don't try to pollish them or anything like that..
