At today’s market price that’d be $305,000. Not as much as I was expecting. Google says there’s approximately 62,000LBS of copper in the statue.

That’s only according to the National Parks Service. Others say potentially as much as 200,000 lbs, or about $1 million USD worth

It’s hard to say for sure since it was made so long ago, was restored in the 80s, and is big as hell, haha
