It depends on what the coins are.
If any of them are collectible, the value depends on the coin's denomination, mint mark, date, and condition. To know that you'd have to sort through the coins, of course.
If they're all common date silver (e.g. dimes and quarters from 1955-64, etc.) their value is determined by the price of scrap silver. Check a site like coinflation.com for current scrap silver prices - they change every day so any answer here would be out of date almost immediately.
If you go to one of those "we buy old gold and silver" places you'll get about 50% of the scrap price. With $500 in face value, you might be able to get a better deal from a jeweler or coin shop, so check around.
