What it's "worth," what is its value, what someone who doesn't own it would pay? Here we go again. The gun was worth one increment higher to you than the next highest bid.

For what it's worth (not much, I expect), I've tracked three hammer 16 G grades at auction over the past couple of years. One went for $3000, another for $2750, and the third was part of a lot of 3 guns and went for $2500 (not counting the buyer's premium). They were all in decent (at best) condition, but were all original. All were 0 frame guns with lightening cuts in the frame.

Lots of variables to consider, obviously. Just assume you got what you wanted and believe it's a value...and then cherish and shoot it.
