Value of 1894-P Morgan Silver Dollar

About 25 to 30 years ago I purchased an 1894-P Morgan Silver dollar.
At that time, it was considered just about the best anyone had ever seen. It was really mark free, strongly struck, lustrous and had lightly proof-like surfaces. Today, I supose it would be called "semi-prooflike". It was essentially without toning except for a very faint patina.
About a year ago I submitted the coin for grading and authentication to the PCGS service.
It was returned to me in a capsule stating the grade of MS66.
My question is this: Given the present coin market, what would be the actual value ( at a major coin auction, for example ) of this specimen? Although I was very involved in buying/collecting silver dollars many years ago, I have not been as engaged or very closely following the coin market over the recent years so this information would be helpful.
I am absolutely not interested in selling this coin and ask this more out of interest / curiousity. However, I would appreciate any appraisal ventured by coin valuation experts that may be on these boards.
My apologies for not providing a scan as the coin is stored in a vault box which I infrequently access.
Thanks, in advance, for any help.
