My wife and I have a handful of old Soviet coins and we don't have any interest in keeping them. We're not sure how to assess the value and have no idea if they are worth $5 or $5000. Assuming they are worth anything of significant value (which is a big assumption), what is the standard way people sell coins? Ebay? Dealers?

The following are the catalog values for uncirculated coins, which is MS60. Catalog values are usually higher than what you would get but yours are graded much higher so I would think these minimum values your could expect. Some ofthem may go for much more. It all depends on finding someone interested in them. Perhaps someone more familiar with Russian coins can give a more accruate estimate.

that 1924 PL Rouble MS-64 is worth way more than $275. probably around $400-500. the Krause catalog has that coin only up to MS-63 for $275. that PL Rouble MS-64 is a hard grade to come by. my personal favorite of your whole collection.
there is 1 on Ebay now for $400 link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Scarce-1924...820001?hash=item35e0ebdaa1:g:HiAAAOSwg3FUemR~ yours looks even better than this 1. @sonlarson can tell you what your sets are worth.
