It would be worth about $21,500 or so. Of course, that is just the silver melt value and it depends on silver spot. Similarly, rare coins in there might sell for more than just bullion value. Of course, rare coins are rare to find in bags sold by face value, but it is always possible that something may have slipped past the coin dealer's eye.
