I had got it authenticated but they wouldn't attach a value to it other than its worth as much as someone is willing to pay. This is why I'm asking for help in finding out a dollar amount to place on it. So any real help would be greatly appreciated. As you can clearly see the photos in my other thread for translation help which I no longer need, I posted this question here for help on its valueOne of our members (@Majestic, I think?) that has shared links to another site that specializes in swords...

If you're dealing with a serious antique, it seems like your best bet is to get it appraised by someone familiar with the sword market, so you have an official value based on an informed opinion. If you recently got it authenticated as you said in your other thread, I would've thought they would have been able to give you an idea of its worth?
As an aside for future reference, since this thread is about the same sword you were asking a translation for in another thread, perhaps it would've been better to ask this question in the existing thread, which has photos and more context and discussion about this particular piece :
Copy that. Thanks for your advice. Truly.I understand that the other thread was about translation, but it also contains more information and photos about the sword that one would find helpful in establishing value... If I said I had a rare car and asked you to estimate its value, the first thing you'd probably ask is to see photos of it...
We have a few people who are into swords here, but if they don't respond you may want to try the Nihonto board linked above.
