There are book prices for coins, and then there's the price someone is actually willing to pay for the coin if you put it up for sale as an individual. There is usually a fair difference between the two numbers.
Ebay's completed auctions is one of the best locations on the internet that you can utilize to determine what you could get for the coin of you want to liquidate it. It will show you what an item actually sold for.
One thing with coins though, the condition of the coin is very important to it's value. There are many coin grade levels, and if you are selling on ebay, it is important that you do not represent the condition of the coin improperly, in particular if it is a very valuable coin. The highest grade condition can be twice as valuable as the next lower grade.
If you have a valuable coin to sell you probably want to get a professional written evaluation of the condition of the coin, and may as well get a value at the same time. Make sure you save a copy of it in case the buyer questions the quality.

Go to a local coin dealer or two to get a value. You could also take them to a local coin club and have someone there give you an idea what they are worth. You can get some club information by going to money.org, which is the American Numismatic Association web site. They have links to clubs that are members of the ANA.
A third option is to go to a library and get some reference books on coins. You would have to figure out how to grade the coins but it could be an interesting experience.
