Well, Hilary, it looks like your full name happens to be shown as:
HILARY, by Dianna Effner, The Ashton-Drake Galleries
It looks like you are still in your box with your COA but have you been removed and maybe had a playmate before you were returned to your box?
You have your hat but I'm not sure if you're holding your basket?

For value, your owner should not go by for-sale listings as these listings only show what a seller would like to receive for their dolls but only a sold doll shows what someone would pay for a doll similar to you.
If you check eBay's sold listings you will find that 5 dolls like you have sold over the past several months and the sold prices range from very low to high.

I think this could mean that you may be more valuable than similar dolls listed for sale.
Maybe your starting price should be higher, maybe $80-$90 and consider offers.
Stay listed for sale for a few weeks and if no offers then your price will need to be lowered as dolls with high prices can remain for sale for months/years.

These dolls were marketed as collectibles, but have greatly decreased in value. If it has never been taken out of the box, the most you could get for it is $25.

Check which year of manufacture is indicated in the lower left corner of the certificate. Most likely 1995.
1995 is the 1st issue of this doll.
