Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. If you have an idea of the value please post this as well. My father and I used to hunt arrowheads religiously when I was younger. He recently passed away and left me a collection upwards of 2000 points. I have come upon some hard times and need to sell a few of them. I have chosen these as the ones I'd like to sell. I am trying to identify these in particular as I have gotten so out of touch with arrowheads in the past 10 years, mainly so I don't end up making a bad deal on something that holds an important place with me. I am meeting with a potential buyer in the morning.

Thanks in advance!

you will regret it,any other way besides selling them would be better the one with the hole is quite rare
 

Cool! That banner stone looks like it was drilled out, broken at the first hole, and drilled out a second time. Any one else see what I see? The left hand side curves inward.
 

What is the buyer offering?
 

He hasn't made an offer yet until he sees it. He likes the Rowan and is talking between 50-70 bucks for it. Says the bannerstone was broken and remade, if it was whole it would be worth ~500, but now probably ~100. That's why I'm asking here, I don't want to sell them at all but have no other option with the situation that has come up. And if I do sell these I definitely do not want to be screwed over.
 

Bingo, it is definitely fluted from a "repair" job they made when it originally broke many moons ago.

I am not a buyer or seller. However, that banner stone has character that is rarely seen. It is not broken in modern day terms. It was anciently broken, and anciently repaired, right? If that's the case, it passes as a complete piece. What I'm trying to say is $100.00 is not enough. It wouldn't be If it were mine, at least. These things value high. Look at westernartifacts web page. $$$
 

Yes, it is a complete piece, anciently broken. Thank you for the info!
 

Maybe someone on here could buy them from you and then sell them back to you for the same price in the future?

That would be the most wonderful thing that anyone has done for my family and I in a long time. I would repay with interest.

These were all found in the sandhills of NC, near Linden, NC.

I see two Woodland period, Wills Cove types. I'm not sure if they are the same point or not. One is in the first picture, at the top-left corner and the other is in the last picture, on the bottom. I've bought that type before and I've found one. If I were to purchase that one I would say a $40-50 point. Depending on the overall length and whether it has a complete base, that type can go from $60 up. The one I found, I personally would not sell. You have nice some really nice points to sell. I couldn't buy all of them, but if I wanted one, I'd like to have that Wills Cove point.
