Go to you local library, and find a coin collecting catalog (don't bring your coin with you, in case you might lose it! Instead, scan or copy it); any book within the past decade will suffice. Or, go to a book store or coin dealer (again, don't bring the coin; just ask a general question about its worth). You already seem to have some knowledge about it, but without at least a photo of your find, we can't give any further help!
