OK, my world coin book is dated (1999), but here is what I have: value ranges from 15 cents for fine to $11.50 for uncirculated. About 12,400,000 were minted (quite a few).
In case you aren’t familiar with the grading system for coins: uncirculated is basically a coin that was never used, never circulated. There are several rankings, ranging from uncirculated (some may say gem ucirculated) to poor. There also are proof coins — that’s in a class by itself, coins made solely for collectors and specially prepared. How your coin would rank depends on how much detail is on your coin. You can obviously read the date and lettering — that’s good (sometimes, a coin is so worn you cannot). How sharp are the letters? How clear and detailed is the design? All of this will depend on the ultimate value of your piece(s).
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coin_collecting has general information on the hobby itself
http://****mycoincollecting.com/ could also help
http://****coin-newbies.com/ may be your best site, to start with. Has information for those looking to start, and a picture guide for world coins.
I recommend The Red Book (most current one you can get your hands on) for United States coins, and "Collecting World Coins: A Sentury of Circulating Issues 1901-present" by Chester L. Krause and Clifford Mishler, with Colin R. Bruce II, senior editor. I have "World Coins," and it has a great pictoral guide for identifying world coins, and coins from about any country you can think of. As I said earlier, mine is from 1999 — you may want to get a newer book for pricing purposes. Coin values fluctuate, sometimes wildly.
