If you've put this question in "Investing", then it is worth nothing.  Gemstones of poor quality (ie. poor color, clarity and /or cut) are not worth your investment unless they have something special about them - ie. they are extremely rare or they have a unique or special inclusion etc.\n\nYou haven't elaborated why you think your stone is of "poor condition" so it's difficult to say how much its monetary worth might be.  It depends largely on color, clarity and cut.  \n\nAssess your stone by asking yourself these questions:\nIs it a pure red? Pinkish-red? Orangy-red? Or does the red have undesirable brown modifiers? Is it transparent? Is it translucent or opaque?  Are there visible inclusions? Are they distracting? Do they affect the stones aesthetics and/or durability? Is it cut well? Is the stone cut too deep or too shallow?  Is it balanced? \n\nStones that are pure red, transparent, eye clean & well cut will fetch the highest market prices.  Stones with poor color that are opaque, included and poorly finished will not be worth very much.\n\nSend me an IM with an url to a photo and I'll try to help

You'll have to buy a book or get it appraised. Here's a link that'll help:\n\nhttp://www.gundealersonline.com/appraisers.asp

As good as the afghan ruby from Jagdalak.AKMIDC has been mining for rubies in the Neelum Valley for many years now.They sell the total production through an auction which takes place in Islamabad every year.The color varies from purplish red to very intense red.The ruby mineralization has also been seen in Kala Jander & Bata Kundi.

It depends on the size and condition of the falg and if there on any markings on it.  Try 1944militaria.com.  Occasionally, he has original flags on there and it will give you a rough idea as to their value.  I'd say an orginal battleflag with swastika and iron cross can fetch as much as 300-500 if it is a large Naval style.  Condition is everything though.

A really badly beat up coin might be worth not much more than the price of the silver.\nAlthough a silver 1775 Carolus III 2 Reales coin will usually sell for $25 to $45, a coin of exceptional quality can go for as much as $250.  If you really want to know what it is worth, take it to a reliable dealer.

I would imagine it be worth  something! If its in mint condition. Duncan certainly has done nothing to diminish its worth.

A pair of 24-k gold plated 1937 buffalo nickels just sold for $4.25 plus $2 shipping and handling.  Thus, yours is probably worth just over $2.

depends... if you can find a huge fan of the Avalanche or of Roy, its worth up to $500 (usd) if not it could go as low as $20 (usd)

I know that i wouldnt buy it but you could sell it on EBAY and start the bidding at about $5.  You would probably get close to $100 if your lucky.  The value of it has been lost because it has been worn a few times.

It all depends on what condition it's in. If it is worn (when you compare it to other coins) there is less value \nthan if it's in perfect shape.  It also depends on where \nit was made.  You really have to take it to someone that can\nlook at and put a value on it.  Just to be safe, take it to\n2 or 3 different places. Do not clean it. If it is valuable,\ncleaning will take away some of the value.

can't say how good of a condition it's in, but if it's in good shape, probably about 100-150 bucks.

Do a search for that on ebay. That'll give you an idea of value.

More than likely 1 cent. Maybe more depending on condition, but still less than $1. Try looking it up online you should be able to find something.

Have it appraised first and foremost.  Take it to a local coin dealer (yellow pages or on-line search) and ask their opinion.  Then I agree, sell on EBay but you will know your reserve.
