The best advice is to obtain a book from a bookseller or local coin shop called "A GUIDE TO UNITED STATES COINS" by RS Yeoman - The "Red Book" as it is called. This book is the mainstay for coin values for dealers and collectors. The ISBNs are = ISBN-10: 079482267-3 ; and ISBN-13: 978-079482267-5. Bear in mind that the quotes in that book are top-end retail; most collectors or dealers will most likely offer slightly less. You might find older volumes in some libraries; but these may have outdated quotes.

Are all silver coins worth 12 times their face value?
No, the value depends on the purity of silver, which coins you are talking about and the silver spot price. Currently, all US 90% silver coins (quarters, dimes and half dollars dated 1964 and before) are worth in melt value about 21 times face value. The percentage varies if you are talking about 40% silver half dollars (dated 1965-1970) and 35% silver war nickels (nickels dated 1942-1945 with a large mintmark over the Monticello). Of course, if silver were to go back up, they'd be worth more times face value. If silver drops, they'd be worth less than 21 times face value.
