8 gallon North Star lid, correction to 8 inch North Star previous question

Question:
Hi Al. Thanks for your answer regarding my 8" salt-glazed North Star lid. I noticed that in your answer you referred to the lid as a 8 GALLON. It is a 8 INCH–not a 8 GALLON. Also, I don’t know if you noticed the chips on the underneath in my pictures. Anyway, does this change the value you quoted? If so, what is the value. Thanks much. Dayton
