For the value: It is not the age of a coin that matters, but how common it was at the time, how rare it is today and how well preserved it is. I don’t know for the American market but in Europe that would be 20 to 30 euros per coin (at most). For price research I recommend the auction database ‘acSearch’; international auction results are archived here, but only for coins in better condition. And otherwise ask dealers; on eBay, check whether the offers are private or commercial.

I was really counting on Rick Astley here.
Could have been worse for GlaDos...
It’s just similar to the Hereford Map and called the Ebstorf Map commissioned by the House of Welf.
Congrats! I'm a german history & paleography student and this book is a liturgical prayer book: E. g. your second pic is about easter.
