I'd agree with Harbourmaster - check out it's collectibility first unless you are just looking for a quick couple of bucks.
Most aren't worth a huge amount, but better to find out then just giving it away. Yours look very nice by the way.
That's a model I recognize from my youth, spent kicking tires at the local Schwinn dealership.
I would place it in the late 60's to mid 70's. Looks like a Collegiate (should say on chain guard)
I think most of them were 3 speeds but they made 5 speeds like yours too. May or may not effect value.
Heres a couple links that will help you determine the vintage -

This guy lives in my area and he has some nice vintage Schwinns on his page. He mentions that his grandfather
worked at Mulhaupt's Schwinn, which is where I bought all of the ones I owned (StingRay, Cotton Picker, and
finally saved enough for a Varsity in the mid 70's)
