<p>[QUOTE="nerarities, post: 1046582, member: 26684"]Well, it depends on what period the Becker pieces you are referring to for their value. Peter Rosa in the 1960s assumed Becker Manufacturing Company and produced a ton of copies (from colonials to ancients) and sold them for a few dollars a piece. This Continental Dollar is from the 1960s and is Peter Rosa's work. Also, many of the New Hampshire 1776 coppers can be attributed to Peter Rosa. I may be a bit low on my estimate but I have sold the complete set of 7 pieces with original box sell for $75 recently. The Higley copper in the set is usually the most valuable piece as the quality of copy makes it look a bit more realistic in person than the other pieces (it can range from $20-40). </p><p><br /></p><p>Some of the more common Bolen colonial pieces still attract attention as they were made in the 1860s and well executed from original dies.

Even the more common Bolen colonial pieces can fetch hundreds of dollars and in Uncirculated condition can be in the $1-2k range in copper and much more in silver (though silver pieces are incredibly rare).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
