I tried to do a Google search on that and there seems to be a ton of different information about them. I figured you guys are smarter when it comes to these types of things than most so figured I would ask. The only thing that isn't original on them is the covers. I really wanted to know what you figure the value to be on them, but most of all I wanted to know what kind of sound that they would probably end up having...

That's the number associated with Gibson 'PAF' Humbuckers (although the actual patent number is different, oddly). You might have some real 60s PAFs (score) or you might have clones or fakes. The corksniffers care.
If they are PAFs or PAF clones they will be relatively low output humbuckers, quite articulate and probably very nice.
