That's a difficult one Wolverine, I think the best thing to do is see what they offer and take it from there, not much help I know but they may make a good offer!

Wow that really is a nice ring Wolverine,Do you have the museums report on it,if so do they or you have any idea who's coat of arms or family crest is depicted on the bezel,as the ring is damaged the commercial value will be affected,if you can find out who the ring belonged to it may increase the value,as Steve says it is difficult to put a price on,but i can think what sort of figure the TVC will say and it won't be high,best bet will be to see what they offer check any similar previous cases and try and find out anything you can on the crest and then contest there first offer,and see what they come back with.
