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.
The 40% proof silver set was a 3 piece.
