These things have to be established before you can even begin to check on values. Now you may well already know all of this, but you're asking us questions without giving us any of that information. So we really can't provide answers as to what your coin is actually worth. Assuming you do know all of this, the best place for you to look to check on values is realized auction prices for coins of the same date, mint, and condition, of your coin. Once you do that you will see what the price range is for your coin. Notice I said price range, and I said that because is no such thing as a fixed price number for any coin. And that price range may vary greatly, by as much as 100% even. This is because no two coins of the same grade are equal.
