How much is an original 1830 Book Of Morman worth?

Answer 1

It depends on what condition it is in and what the history of that particular copy is.

Recently, an 1830 copy of the Book of Mormon in good condition with an interesting family history was appraised at $100,000 on Antiques Roadshow. Other fair to excellent condition copies have recently sold for $50,000 to $180,000.

If you have an 1830 Book of Mormon (or any other historic Mormon documents) I suggest getting in contact with John Hajicek of Independence, Missouri or Ken Sanders of Salt Lake City - they are the two leading appraisers and collectors of historic Mormon documents. Their websites with contact information can be found under "Related Links" below.

Answer 2

It depends on what kind of shape it's in and if it is really authentic. First edition Book of Mormons have sold at auction for up to $100,000. You'd have to go to someone specializing in antique books to give you a better estimate. There are also many people around the country specializing in Mormon historic documents that can appraise the book as well.
