Reddit reviews A Guide Book of United States Coins 2018: The Official Red Book, Hardcover

They're available in hardcover as well.

I made a mistake, it's 1942-1945 nickels that are silver. 1941 nickels are not silver. Even some 1942 nickels are not silver, the way to tell is if they have the mintmark on top of the building, [like this] (http://images.pcgs.com/CoinFacts/4180_37655255_2200.jpg). Also look for the 1950-D nickel, those are worth a few dollars. If you find any 1983 P or D quarters that are uncirculated, they could be worth about $30-$50, ones that are almost uncirculated maybe a couple bucks. Regular circulated 1983 quarters are just worth 25 cents.

A good idea would be to pick up a [Red Book] (https://www.amazon.com/Guide-Book-United-States-Coins/dp/0794845037). There is already one in your first picture, but it's from the 1990s so useless except as a curiosity to compare coin values to today. Keep in mind though that Red Book values are basically what you would pay at a coin shop, not what you would get at a coin shop if you were to sell. So you always have to consider you might only get 90% of that listed value for example. If you sell at /r/coins4sale or ebay, you will get more likely. In order to get a value from the Red Book, you have to grade the coins. A good way to do that is [Photo Grade] (https://www.pcgs.com/Photograde/), a free website where you compare your coin to an example of a certain grade.

Get a Red Book. It will show you which coins have potential beyond melt value. But don't rely on the prices in that book -- they're typically high retail.
