Hi, My price guide gives an estimate of $500 - $700. If you are wanting to sell it check out americanbottle.com - They auction high end bottles. They had one in 2005 that sold for $700.

Yes , Prices are up and down on Queens in a starndard Amber coloration ( 500.00 - 800.00 ) . Depending on condition , color , and mold variant. The Feb. 11 , 1868 variant seems to bring a little less $$$ than the 1868 and 1867 variants in a Amber coloration.
The 3 Queens that Marjorie04 has listed are as follows .
1) 1867 variant with perfect rolled lip in medium amber. $ 700.00
2) 1867 variant near mint in Chocolate Amber . $ 750.00
3) Feb. 11 , 1868 variant in a much lighter Amber with much of its original paint intact. Another perfect lip . $ 800.00

Hey guys, I am looking to sell this bottle, but I have no experience in doing so. What would be the best way to sell this?

While hecklers and glassworks would probably be better, I don't know if I want to go through the hassle of all that. I guess I'll be selling it on ebay, thanks for the advice guys.

One more thing, what color would you describe this bottle as, a light amber? Also, when I describe the bottle, how should I describe the lip, considering it was already chipped. Thanks again.

If your looking for money right ayay I'd go with ebay however instead of starting the bottle off at a high price I'd start it at $5.00 yes five dollars. Generally i've found that a low starting price attracts more bids and the more interest there is in a bottle the more likely there will be a bidding war at the end. And achieve a better price for the bottle. High starting prices tend to scare away some bidders.

bottles are currently going pretty low on ebay. prices are still holding pretty well at big bottle auctions like glassworks.
