Original examples of these coins are fairly rare and one in fine condition would be worth several thousand dollars. Most people inquiring about this item either have a Dickeson copy (valued at about $200 in excellent condition) or a modern reproduction (worth about $1.00).

On our page http://www.coins.nd.edu/ColCoin/ColCoinText/SommerIsland.html we have an example of a modern copy and a Dickeson reproduction.
