Hello Susan,                       

The $20 gold coin from the Philadelphia mint graded MS-65 by PCGS has sold at auction consistently for $1,150 to $1,250   since 2004. One piece this year with great eye appeal went to $1,500 but that includes the auctions fees.  
Prior to 2004 the MS65 Coin sold from $700 to $ 950 depending on the other attributes of the coin.

The 1955-S one cent coin can sell for a lot but I need to be sure of the certification Company.
You wrote "MS-68 RD", I.G.S “  Is IGS Correct?  

I need to be sure it was not IGC, NCS or ICCS -?

Each encapsulated coin has sold at sometimes very different values. I am including a sample of an IGS Slab for comparison

Be sure to mark your question as private!

I look forward to hearing from you again  

Thank You and Good Luck
