First I would check ebay completed items and see what they have been going for. You might consider buying a copy of the (Bluesheet ) which lists prices for dealer-to-dealer transactions (you might not be able to buy at those prices as a retail customer, but you'll have some idea of what the going rate is. The regular Greysheet only lists Walkers up to MS65.
You can look on coinworld.com where you can search the inventory of many different dealers from a single search.
New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.
You might consider using the Auction Archives at the Heritage Rare Coins site to get a feel for what the coins you are considering are bringing at auction. While you are at it, be sure and make note of the price differences between a coin in MS-65 and MS-66. It can be mind boggling....not to mention expensive.
When we are planning for posterity, we ought to remember that virtue is not hereditary.

If you care to provide me with a list (including the grade and grading company), either here, or by private message, I'd be happy to try to give you suggested price ranges.
