They look to be in about VF-20 grade and would generally go for <$1 each. There are 4 varieties of the 1953 5¢, two of which are very rare.
No shoulder Fold/Far maple leaf -> Most common variety
No shoulder Fold/Near maple leaf (Very rare worth $1,000 +)
Shoulder Fold/Far maple leaf (Rare worth $500 +)
Shoulder Fold/Near maple leaf 

To know exactly which variety(ies) you have you would need to provide a better image of each 5¢
You can also check by looking at the letter I in DEI on reverse. In the NSF variety the letter I will have flared/curvy ends  while the SF variety the letter I is straight.

As for maple leaf... check the maple leaf on the left side (beside 5). The Far maple leaf is far from the rim while Near maple leaf is almost touching the rim.

Hope this helps.
