Found some retired US Coins

I ran across a box of foreign coins on Monday that I'd forgotten about over the years. While looking through them, I ran across the leftovers from some of my past collecting efforts.

Obsolete, I prefer retired, US coins from the 19th Century. Everything was there, Large Cent, Two Cents, Three Cents (both silver and nickel versions), the "No Cent" Nickel, a Half Dime. Well, almost everything as I vaguely remember one or two examples of Half Cents that must be around somewhere.

Anyway, I'm thinking maybe I should get them certified and create a display. None is especially valuable, maybe $10 to $50 maximum, still it would be fun to have around. The only problem is the cost of certification. Is it worth it or should I put the money into my current collecting interest? Questions, questions, questions? Why can't life be simple.
