You need a paying membership to ask for an evaluation.

Thats fair... Thanks for all the information!

A few years back a collector/dealer back east came up with a large quantity of these still in the original wrap like yours. For a while they were very common in collector circles. Price always suffers when that happens.

Whatever the current price, it is a nice addition to any collection.
