There are loads of web sites that give you current retail values. I've found www.numismedia.com to be one of the better sites because the values quoted are pretty realistic. You need to be a bit knowledgeable about the coins, in particular you need to know how worn they are and where to look for their mint marks. To help: Morgan dollars (1878-1921) have the mint mark above the ONE in ONE DOLLAR:
No mark = Philadelphia
S = San Francisco
CC= Carson City
O = New Orleans
D = Denver (coins from 1921 only)
Peace dollars (1921-35) have the mint mark between the eagle's tail and the word ONE. Mint marks will be none, D, or S.

Why is a dime so small?
Coins in the United States were originally based on their metal value. Thus, a dime weighed 10/25 as much as a quarter and 10/50 as much as a half dollar. Basically, a dime was so small because it was supposed to contain about 1/10 as much silver as a silver dollar did. Although the composition of these formerly 90% silver coins is now cupro-nickel, the relative weights still survive; if you have a pile of dimes, quarters and half-dollars (and old Eisenhower dollars as well, but not any of the "golden" dollars), you can ascertain the face value based on weight alone (22.68 grams to the dollar (or, put another way, a pound of such coins is worth $20.00).
