1.Gold coin with an odd 21/2 dollar value.Date is 1914.Indian head on front and eagle on back. some small letters over the 1914 look like ELE or SLF (mint sign?)
2. An 1832 "50C" coin
3. An 1853 "half dollar" coin   
4. A dollar bill (silver certificate) dated 1925A  
5. 3"Indian head" pennies oldest is 1901

Answer
Dear Joseph. Coins derive much of their value from their condition. That being said, and without knowing the condition or whether they are even real, here goes.
1914 Quarter Eagle $150
1832 Half Dollar $20
1853 Half Dollar $10
The paper dollar $1, unless it is brand new perfect, than $20
Pennies , about 25 cents each.
