Depends on the coin.

Some coins are primarily collector coins and they've got values beyond their silver content, other coins are known as "junk silver" and sell about for melt value.

For US 90% silver coins (quarters, dimes, half dollars and dollars dated 1964 and earlier) a good rule of thumb is that you'll pay anywhere from 20-25 times face value for a junk silver coin. For example, you can expect to pay $2-2.50 for a junk silver dime.

There are also 1965-1970 dated Kennedy half dollars, these are 40% silver and can usually be bought for about $5 a piece retail.

There are also 35% silver "war nickels" which are dated 1942-1945 (with a large mintmark over the Monticello) these coins will often sell for $1.50-2 or so retail.

That depends on the price of silver and the denomination you are talking about. Use the link below titled "Melt value of US silver coins" to find the metal value.
