In terms of actual cash exchanging hands, the amount will probably be less than $25,000. And of this, the owner who found it at a garage sale will be lucky to see even $8,000. There is a lot of "value hyping" in terms of which pass though a capitalist sociey in a barter fashion, such as antiquities. (This principle is even true to some extent with regards to CEO/sports/actor salaries. etc.)
