Assuming they're U.S. coins they contain 90% silver. The fact that they're missing dates makes them "culls" worth a premium only for their scrap value.
The price of silver changes daily so Google "silver spot price" and multiply by 0.90 for their retail melt value.

When silver prices hit $50, many coins with a small collector value disappeared because they were worth more to melt, and those worth a significant premium hit new highs, too.
