3000 coins is alot of coins. Dates and condition are very important. If its a collection in date order with good conditions it could be worth serious money. A better idea of what you have would be helpful.

Basically you can tell by the type of coin and the date as to whether it contains silver. As Gary suggested, depending on the condition and particular coin it is possible that most of the value of a coin is in its scarcity value rather than its silver content. On the other hand, if these are a lot of worn coins collected from change then it may be that the silver does account for most of the value. It all depends on condition.

Are they all British?
