Are these coins worth anything?

   Welcome to the NGC chat board.

   It is very difficult to evaluate these Capped Bust (and 1807 Draped Bust) half dollars without seeing cropped, clear photos of the obverse and reverse of each coin, preferably as separate topics. (They appear to be mostly well-worn and/or improperly "cleaned" or damaged but if genuine may have individual retail values ranging from approximately $50 to a few hundred dollars.)  Please refer to the following topics for guidance on posting questions about coins on this forum:

I would first go to the PCGS CoinFacts pages for each coin and find a similar condition coin in order to compare details and get a rough grade or range of grades (e.g. for 1817 50C ... https://www.pcgs.com/coinfacts/coin/1817-50c/images/6109).  Note that the location of certain features such as dates can vary as they are hand punched in dies, but the detail should match.

If they match, then go to the NGC Price Guide page for each coin to look up a value or range of values (e.g. for 1817 50C https://www.ngccoin.com/coin-explorer/united-states/half-dollars/capped-bust-lettered-edge-half-dollars-1807-1836/16109/1817-50c-ms/?des=ms).
