Hi Michael and all,

The value for the 20.3 kg Sikhote-Alin that I was asked to provide a
value for (what dollar amount) ended up being
$21,400.00. This wasn't based on my estimate but rather I gathered facts
and comments from our group and some other collectors who were willing
to give me an idea of the value of this specimen based on photos I
provided as well as my comments on the condition of the specimen. I
turned this over to a license appraiser who used all the facts that were
sent to me to come up with some sort of an idea.

Thanks to everyone who helped me with their ideas on the market value!!

Here were some statistics used.

Average price.................................$22,534.00
Minus high price.............................$19,523.00
Minus low and high price.................$21,194.00

My suggested value........................$18,000.00

Apprasers true value.......................$21,400.00
