This, and other questions about the value of a particular coin, are all best answered in one of three ways:
For example, if I want to find the value of a 1914 buffalo-head nickel, I just search eBay for sold items with "1914 buffalo nickel" in the title or description. Remember that not everyone is a spelling whiz, so this might find more matches: "1914 buffalo buffalo-headnickel nickle" - experiment a little.
Methods 2 and 3 will only work if -
Method 1 always works - unless you have discovered something so rare that it's not in any catalogue. That still happens from time to time, but not often. Find yourself a good, recent catalogue - maybe in the local library - and spend some time getting familiar with the specialist terms - how they describe and list coins. You need to understand a bit about coin condition grading, and develop a passing familiarity with the kinds of inscription to expect on the coins that interest you - maybe even learn to read a little Arabic or Chinese!
