Nickel Glass

What is this coin collection worth?
I have a penny, nickel, dime, quarter, and half dollar coin all from 1942 in mint condition, never opened. There is also a coin that I've never seen from the 1700's with a shield on it. They are all in a small glass case that has never been opened,
Unfortunately, you don't have what you think you have.
Year sets do not come 'unopened', unless they are direct from the United States Mint. These are either mint sets or proof sets. Mint sets weren't issued until sometime in the 1950s. The first US proof set was issued in 1936, but unopened sets are rare.
What you have is indeed never opened. Never opened by you. Whoever put the set together took loose coins, put them in a case along with a token with a shield on it, and sold it the way you have it. Many companies have done this over the years. They purchased mint rolls many years ago when they were very cheap and sold sets for a small profit. This was long before silver first skyrocketed in the 1970s.
As for the coins being in mint condition. They very well could be. But, there are eleven levels of mint state condition, from MS60 to MS70 (perfect, and rare for older coins. I do not believe there has ever been an MS70 coin from 1942, and maybe none at MS69, either).
Assuming yours are all bright uncirculated and the penny is still red and not brown, sets are selling in the $100 to $125 range.
The thing with the shield is not a coin. It's a token packaged with the coins, made to look like something old. Probably brass or bronze, and worth very little on its own.
