There's no specific answer. A coin can be valuable because it's scarce or made of precious metals. Some old coins were minted in such large quantities that they're still common among collectors while other more modern coins were only made in small numbers and are worth a lot more.
Even within the same date and denomination, values can differ radically. Among US Coins, for example, a 1909 Lincoln cent from Philadelphia that doesn't have the designer's initials VDB can be bought for a few dollars because millions were struck. However only about 484,000 such coins that did have the designer's initials were made at San Francisco; these can be worth hundreds or thousands of dollars.

They're not valuable above face value.
No coins in 1949 are rare, but as with all US coins, high grade Mint State examples can be valuable.
Definately Ebay. I can't stress this enough ... do your homework pertaining to your coins. Some coins are far more valuable than you may think because of rarity or a mint mark you may have missed.

If the coins are from the United States, the best bet would be to check the U.S. Old Coins Identification Chart. If the old coin is from the United States but not on said chart, it is probably a commemorative coin and a person would need to obtain a copy of U.S Coins Red Book
No, unless the fakes were made during the time the coins were minted. For example: If you have a 2000 yr. old Roman coin faked today, no value. If you have a 2000 yr. old Roman coin faked 2000 yrs. ago, some value
