    Well, I wouldn't say worthless because even though they are copies, they are actually pretty old, I'd say from the 50's or 60's.

    I have 2 of these same copies and if you notice there is a small "R" punched next to the Indian's shoulder on the obverse which stands for "replica".

    A law was passed in the early 70's, I believe, that required the word "copy" stamped on all reproductions so you can at least date these to before the early 70's........I would say that even though they are not real that you could expect at least $10 each for them due to their actual age.....

    Hope this helps!

    Tracey the girl that has these coins asked if anyone here would be interested in them? Told her I would ask. Think I should post them in the classified section or should she put them on e-bay.  Jeff
