My grandmother gave me these coins and I'm wondering if they have any real value ... or were my grandparents simply taken for a ride by mail order companies?

She also gave me about a dozen "silver certificate" 1-dollar bills from the 1930s. Are these of any value?

Any help is greatly appreciated!
Hey Blue T, thanks for the advice. But just to elaborate, these coins are proofs, sealed in plastic.
