Well, you didn't mention caliber or frame so assuming Government Model in .45ACP, current Bluebook says:
Government Model MKIV/Series 70
100% Condition $1000
add 10% if NIB, 20% if early 2 piece box
add 10% if .38 super, 9MM Para or 9MM Steyr
add 10% if Satin Nickel

In other words, offer her $500 :D

I would inspect it. Also call Colt to check its year of manufacture. Sometimes what people think is NIB (New In Box) is RIB (Rusted in Box), or sometimes the finish has damage from SIB (Storage In Box). If you can, post pictures of the pistol and greater minds than I can look at it.

In my on little world I have seen them sold from $500 to $1200 depending on how they look and the fit and finish of the pieces.
