By your description it sounds like a bike called a Penny Farthing. There are reproductions available that usually run about $1000 USD. I could not guess what a used and in rough shape PF would be worth. I suggest that you find an antiques dealer or a bicycle museum.

They have a vintage / hi-wheeler forum, not a lot of activity but it's a start.
