Although I'm familiar with them, I still want to learn more about Marxist types of commodity values (value, exchange value, use-value, etc, etc). Learning material regarding the topic is welcome.

Use-value is the properties of an object that can satisfy human need.

Exchange value (or just value) can only be found in commodities. It is the value relation of one commodity to other commodities.

I know the definitions, but I need to read more on the implications. Do you happen to have any material regarding the topic?

E.g.: 1 coat = 500 g ox meat = one drill = 1/10 notebook = 300 DKK

Sorry, what do you mean by "implications"?

I know that. Labor is what puts value in commodities - socially necessary labor time hours. What I need are some examples of exchange value, use value and other value relationships.

There's this series called 'Capital' by Karl Marx. Hehe. You can also read 'Accumulation of Capital' by Rosa Luxembourg. Or you can go to youtube, and watch brendanmcooney's videos which are unbelievably good.
