Heather, Currier and Ives reprints have appreciated over the years. I am not aware of anyone on this forum that can give you an exact price. I noticed your question remained unanswered and did not want you to feel you were being ignored.
It might be beneficial for you to post your question on this site:
Antiques and the Arts Forum (http://www.antiquesandthearts.com/forumcat.asp?var=8)
Hope this helps. I don't know what their answer turnaround time is but as I said, I think you have a better chance of finding your answer there.
Good Luck! :)

One of the best resources that I have found concerning Paris Etching Society is from Google answers, located HERE (http://answers.google.com/answers/threadview?id=39718).
The response from scriptor-ga is very insightful.
Basically PES was set up by Sidney Z. Lucas, hence the SZL mark. He owned a printshop in New York in the years 1940 to 1960 where He
Produced a large number of prints after old etchings.
Generally, prints by Mr. Lucas seem not to reach very high prices.
At the end of the day they look nice, but that's about it.
Most of what is talked about them is from people "boiler rooming" the price on the supposed French history.
I hope this helps.
