and as JKR said, a galleon ~= 5 - scifi.stackexchange.com/questions/123546/… and - if we take what Google says as the exchange rate in May 1991 (possibly around the time Harry went to Olivander's) as being about $1.75 => 1 pound, (poundsterlinglive.com/bank-of-england-spot/…) - then the wand cost ~$60 USD

That's all that's mentioned in the book canon of wand prices, I think (other than the Weasleys not being able to afford new wands). However, on a (now-defunct) page on Pottermore, people were able to take a quiz to see what wand is best for them. At the end, the wand would always be sold for 7 Galleons.
