That depends on a number of factors.
1. The instrument may indeed have been made in 1720, or it could be a repleca of an instrument made in 1720 (which is far more likely) and in such a case, the value may not be as great as you might expect.
2. The quality of the instrument's craftsmanship goes a long way towards its end value. If it was hand made, that's a plus. If it was made by a reputable maker, that's even better.
3. The actual age of the instrument. The older the violin, the more it is worth, typically.
4. The current condition of the instrument plays a huge role in value as well. If you have a cracked back or face, or if the seams are opening up or if the fingerboard is cracked or warn down the value drops significantly. One can drop a lot of money into repairing an instrument to playable status.
5. The quality of tone, resonance, and responsiveness that the player can get out of the instrument also plays a vital role in how much players are willing to pay for the instrument. And believe it or not, players will pay far more than collectors ever will... because it is their livelyhood.
The best way to determine the worth of an instrument is to take it to a reputable repair shop and have it apraized. If they tell you it's valuable, you can have it repaired and sold, or you can keep it for yourself. However, it's always good to have quality instruments be placed in the hands of someone who is capable of playing it to its full potential.

How much is my Nikolaus Amatus fecit in Cremona 1614 violin worth?
I have a similar label on my violin except the date reads 1726. These violins were made in Germany quite possibly Mittenwald, in the 1880s. The instrument if fixed properly and in good working condition should sound a lot better than the cheap merchandise that's being made today. You might want to bring it to a professional luthier for evaluation. Here is the link for an auction a few years back for a violin with nearly the same label. http://www.christies.com/lotfinder/musical-instruments/a-violin-mittenwald-circa-1880-4970632-details.aspx?pos=10&intObjectID=4970632&sid=&page=5?intObjectID=4970632 I hope this answers your question.

What does the phrase sanctus seraphin minensis fecit 1754 insrcibed in your violin mean?
The inscription 'Sanctus Serathin utinensis tecit venetijs anno 1730' contains some errors. The words most likely are 'Seraphim', 'fecit', and 'venetii'. So the correct inscription is the following: 'Sanctus Seraphim utinensis fecit Venetii anno 1730'. The word-by-word translation is as follows: 'Sanctus' means 'Saint'; 'Seraphim' means 'Seraphim'; 'utinensis' means 'tools'; 'fecit' means 'made'; 'Venetii' means 'Venice'; and 'anno' means 'year'. The meaning therefore is as follows: Made with the tools of St Seraphim, Venice, 1730.
