That is a museum quality bicycle and I personally would hang it on the wall of my house to marvel at. It's incredble. In these uncertain times it's pretty much impossible to but a value on it. in the last five years it may have been worth nothing to as much as $2500 on ebay. Right now I dare say it would likely go for somewhere between $1000-1500. But like I said, pretty much impossible to pin down a value. If you are not a cycling enthusiast I would suggest you ask about $1000 for it and try and sell it at that fixed price to a deserving collector.
nice reply, to add to it if it has a sentimental value because of its being your uncle's I would keep it and only ride it on occasion... Also this is the sort of bike that if you sell you will probably not be replacing any time soon. As for value/selling it, find a 'deserving collector' that is not in it to make a profit off you but simply wants to appreciate the bike. Or just keep the bike knowing you have something that will always be valuable and will only appreciate in value.
PS: you are one very lucky person
