No circulating U.S. coins were ever made of solid silver. They'd be so soft they'd wear out very quickly. All "silver" coins are part copper for hardness.
A 1949 Washington quarter is common, most are only valued for the silver, about $6.00
A 1949 Nickel is NOT silver... it's worth about 5 cents. Sorry.
1943 was the only year cents were minted in steel. If you have a silver-color 1949 cent it's been plated or otherwise altered. That makes it an altered coin worth only face value. But don't shed any tears; even in almost-uncirculated condition an unaltered 1949-S cent is worth less than a quarter.
Value runs from $3.00 to $10.00 in average circulated condition.
With no mint mark next to Monticello, or a "D", it's worth about a dime. If there's a small "S", it's worth about a quarter.

Quarters dated 1964 and earlier are made of 90% silver, 10% copper.
Value runs from $3.00 to $10.00 in average circulated condition.
The 1941 Belgium 5 franc coin is worth about 4-5 dollars.

1949 would be a Franklin half dollar, which weighs 12.5 grams and is 90% silver, giving it 11.25 grams of silver per coin. It's currently (as of 7 September 2012) worth about $12.
In good condition, I've seen 1949 quarters sell as high as $9.99.
