I have a red coral Buddha head Chinese good luck talisman that came from the Flor do Mar wreck sight (1511). My wife's mother got it in an auction at a local fund raiser. It came with a Certificate of Authenticity signed by Sir Robert F. Marx.

I'm trying to figure out if it's worth $50 or $500, if ya know what I mean, , , ,.

Can anybody point me in the right direction?

Fascinating.

Capitalism is based on the ridiculous notion that you can enjoy limitless growth in a closed, finite system.

In biology, such behavior of cells is called "cancer".
