A lot depends on the condition of the musket. Are all parts original to the gun? Has the stock or barrel been shortened, or (sporterized) What is the date on the lockplate? Muskets dated 1861 are a little less common, as the war had yet to break out in full swing, so the government hadnt placed the bulk of orders for the Springfield (and other contract makers)... less common tends to be more valuable. Has the gun ever been cleaned? This can devalue the gun, if not done correctly. There is no substitute for an "un-fiddled with" gun that has been properly stored over the decades. Are there stampings on the barrel? Should be an Eagles head, along with V (visual inspection), and P (Proven...actually fired). Are there cartouches on the left side of the gun, opposite the lockplate? (This means the gun has been gov't inspected and approved for military use). If the gun has been sanded or refinished, these may be gone, which is unfortunate..it devalues the gun. What is the condition of the action, the bore, and the metal surfaces? Is there surface rust? Pitting? (caused by corrosive black powder residue). A good bore with strong rifling is a plus. If all original, and in decent condition, you may get anywhere from $1250.00 to $2500.00...it really depends on the eye of the collector. One mans junk is another mans gem.

How much is a musket ball worth?
Unknown, but it depends on how old it is and where it came from. Musket balls are still being made today for black powder enthusiasts, and they make good slingshot ammo too. These would be worth no more than the current value of lead. A musket ball from an important battle, duel, or other historical event would surely have monetary value, but it would depend on how much the buyer is willing to pay, and proving it is genuine will be difficult. A musket ball is much easier to counterfeit than a coin.
