Peter Rosa Colonials, the "original" ones

    I've seen several discussions here that touched on Peter Rosa and his "replicas" of Colonial coins. I have a group of 8 of these that I picked up as part of a tray lot in an auction about a dozen years ago. Seven are in a bin of coin stuff (see photo link) in storage, but one somehow ended up in my jewelry box (I must have been carrying it around at some point... I do this with stuff). When I noticed it the other day I was prompted to revisit these coins, which lead me to discover this awesome site.

    None of these are marked anywhere with "Becker" or "copy" or any other mark signifying a replica, which leads me to believe that Rosa produced them in the late 1960's when he was protesting the Hobby Protection Act.

    My question is whether these are collectible and if they have any value these days? I know Charlie Doyle is doing a brisk business with his "replicas of Rosa's replicas", but those are a whole 'nother animal. Are Peter Rosa's "original" replicas, and especially those with no markings on them, something special today?

    Anyone? I've searched high and low and can't find anything on original Peter Rosa coins from the 60's. All that comes up is Charlie Doyle's coinreplicas-dot-com and his new replicas.
