Unfortunately even in really good condition these Conns don't bring much money. $400-$500 is a more realistic price range. Probably not what you wanted to hear. I think it's an 18M not a 16M. The 16M is a tenor, and the 18M replaced the 14M directors model around that time.

Ahh yes thanks for correcting my numbers Jim!!

Coul I email you photos and perhaps you could tell me more??? Also, where is the best place to sell it? Thanks,Grace

Well even though ebay is flooded with them, it's probably still the best place to sell it. Unfortunately no pawn shop or second hand music store will want to give you anywhere near what it's worth. I would list it as a Conn Alto Saxophone in very good condition. serial number N-123XXX (Show the letter and first 3 numbers). I would take lots of pictures, tell a little about how you aquired the horn, (purchased it for your son 3 years ago and he played it one year in school band, etc.) List what is included, any repairs that you have made, adjustments, pads, etc.

if yours is in exceptionally nice condition, I would start the bid at $299 or whatever you feel is the LEAST amount of money you would take for it. I wouldn't recommend a reserve auction. they tend to discourage a lot of bidders, and ebay charges more for a reserve auction.
