I would encourage you to shell out ten bucks on a copy of "The Official RED
BOOK -- A Guide Book of United States Coins 2003" ...

Excellent recommendation! (With the warning that Red Book Prices are full
retail. Dealers pay less than this always and collectors also pay less than
this most often, as well. But, as you say correctly, the Red Book Prices do
give a ballpark figure of approximate value.
