They are listed in the So-Called Dollars guide as HK-299 - HK-304
HK-299: Silver
HK-300: Gold-plated bronze
HK-301: Copper
HK-302: Yellow Bronze
HK-303: Bronze
HK-304: Gilt
If there's interest, I have MS examples of each, and can post some photos later.

Somewhere I have a set of the little fractional golds.......
Here's a link to the custom set ATS.

The copper one is actually the rarest of the different compositions.
If I recall correctly, the silver composition is only about .600 fine, so you can use that to determine a base price based on silver melt for worn or damages examples of that type.
