I'm sort of in your same predicament, so unfortunately I can't offer any advice from the perspective of someone in the know. I would suggest taking them to a coin dealer/appraiser, to get someone trained to look at it and offer their opinions. But before you do that, do as much research on the 'Net as you can, and make your best estimate as to the condition/value of the coins. Use eBay to gauge a fair market value for the coins. Once you have that estimate, take it to a dealer and see what they offer, and if you're willing to take that, or put in the extra work to selling them online.
Also, maybe there's a coin collecting forum out there that you can post on that you can seek advice.
Good luck.
