I feel that a price can not be set as they are "priceless" for the below reasons. What price could be put on the Statue of Liberty? Value is worth much more than the replacement value.
No honest collector would buy these samples as they are indeed priceless in the legal world.

Hi John,
I'm of the opinion that the material stolen from NASA was for all practical purposes worthless on the collectable market. Let me elaborate; Most collectors willing to purchase lunar meteorites are intelligent, and successful people. All of these people would recognize that NASA lunar material is prohibited material. What thinking person would purchase a collectable that if you were found out having, could send you to jail, and ruin your life?
It's like trying to sell the Mona Lisa, no art collector would buy it, because he would be branded a criminal by doing so. This is why the Mona Lisa is not only priceless, but worthless to a collector. There is no "market value" to the Mona Lisa, nor is there one for the Apollo Lunar samples.
