The fact that they were trying to mine the meteorite is a s= tory itself. You might be interested in reading Coon Mountain Controvers= ies: Meteor Crater and the Development of Impact Theory by William Graves= Hoyt (Univ. of Arizona Tucson, AZ: 1987 HB ISBN 0816509689 8vo, xii, 442pp) f= or more information. I talk about the crater in my last "Collectors Corn= er" column at MeteoriteTimes.com as well. If it was mined today I do not think it would drop the price of meteorite= s any....well other then a short term effect on Canyon Diablo's. Barring= er's interest was in melting the meteorite for its minerals. This was be= fore the big nickel discovery in Sudbury, Canada and at a time nickel was= worth more (minus inflation of course). Therefore very little of it wou= ld have gotten into sale pages or catalogs. The mass of one meteorite do= es not seem to have much affect on other meteorites values, and if there = was a surplus on the market, who wouldn't want a Canyon Diablo ected door= ?
