Was the Statue of Liberty named after the goddess Columbia?
The short answer is no, but in a way yes.
First, to clear up a few things that are common misconceptions. There is no statue named the Statue of Liberty. There is a National Park, located in NY Harbor, named The Statue of Liberty National Monument and Park, and at that site resides a statue titled Liberty Enlightening the World. Also, there is no historical goddess named Columbia. Columbia was/is the personification, or poetic depiction, of America and was sometimes referred to as, a goddess of freedom and liberty as American values. Columbia is also commonly considered to be a depiction of the Roman Goddess Libertas as America, and served as the inspiration for, and is the form depicted in, Thomas Crawford's Statue of Freedom that adorns the top of the dome of the U.S. Capitol Building in the District of Columbia
Which brings us back to the original question you asked. The statue of Liberty Enlightening the World was named in reference to, and as an embodiment of, the ideals of Libertas. However, the idea of a statue being in the form of a woman, and as a symbol of American freedom, was largely inspired by the Statue of Freedom, a depiction of Columbia, and of the symbolism of Columbia, which was a very prominent national symbol of the day and itself an embodiment of Libertas.

What is the value of a US 1865 Liberty Dollar coin?
If it's genuine, its retail value would range from about $300 if very worn up to $850 if almost uncirculated. However, the market is being flooded with counterfeit pieces mostly from the Far East. You would need to have the coin examined in person and certified.
All genuine and many fake 1865 dollars will have the seated figure of Miss Liberty on the front and an eagle with a shield across its chest on the reverse side; the word "dollar" will be abbreviated as "DOL."
There are also numerous fakes with a design crudely copied from the images used on U.S. quarters from 1932 to 1998. See the Related Question for pictures and a much longer discussion.
Please check your pocket change. ALL U.S. coins have always borne the word Liberty so this does not help to identify a coin.

The Lady Liberty stamp with the flag was sold for 39 cents, and it came out in January of 2006. There have been dozens of US stamps issued that feature the Statue of Liberty. Without more information, it would be difficult to speculate.

Special cancellations and different values are likely to be worth more. Consult a postage stamp catalog, usually available at your local library for exact identification and catalog values.
