Welcome, KraftiKathi!
You are wise to take the time to do some research before selling. Other members here have more experience with rare bank notes and paper currency, but I might be able to help with the coins.
Before you decide where to sell, it's important to know a little about the coins you're selling.
Do you happen to know exactly what coins you have? If you can post a photo, that would help with identification. Otherwise, post the nationality(USA, Canada, etc), face value ($5, $10, etc), and and other information you see on the obverse (front) or reverse of the coin.
Mad's previous recommendation for searching ebay for similar coins is excellent. It does, however, assume you know enough about the coin to make a good search. If you have USA coins, take a look at the sidebar here on the Coin Community web page...you'll see a red horizontal menu bar that says "US Coin Facts." Give that link a click. If you can find your coin in the list, just click on the desired link. You'll not only see a color image of the coin, but you'll also get some basic information and a list of current ebay auctions for similar coins.
