You're most likely referring to a set of several US Coins, all minted during WWII and sold in a special holder by various private companies. If that's what you have, none of the coins are particularly rare or valuable even though most are no longer in circulation (but not really "obsolete" as they can all still be spent, although at a loss). You can be certain that the retail price of the set is higher than the collector value of the individual coins; whoever sold them made sure there were no high-value pieces.
The set may contain some or all of the following; prices shown are very rough retail values as of 09/2013 and depend on the coins' conditions and mint marks:
> Bronze Lincoln cent - 3¢ to 10¢
> 1943 zinc-plated steel Lincoln cent - 25¢ to 50¢ (unless replated, then only 5¢)
> 1941 or 1942 copper-nickel 5¢ coin - 15¢ to 25¢
> 1942-1945 copper-silver 5¢ coin - $1.50
> Mercury dime - $3 to $4
> Washington quarter - $9 to $10
> Walking Liberty half dollar - $14 to $15
Values for the dime, quarter, and half will vary with the price of silver
