What is the value of a Declaration of Independence facsimilie signed by John Hay in 1902?
The fact that it's a Declaration of Independence facsimile makes little difference - it could be a laundry list, but John Hay was a highly regarded public servant of his day, originally secretary to Abraham Lincoln, and eventually Secretary of State under McKinley and Teddy Roosevelt. If it is his authentic signature, it is worth some money to a collector, yes - though I have no idea how much.

Gwinnett moved back to Georgia hoping that he would be reassigned as leader of the Georgia Militia. · Button Gwinnett's signature was said to be worth a little less than Julius Caesar's and William Shakespeare's signature with his selling for as much as 150,000 dollars.

Leading Gwinnett to challenge McIntosh to a duel in an effort to restore his honor. They met at the small town of Thunderbolt, near Savannah, and fought on May 16, 1777, at a distance of only 12 feet. Both were severely wounded, Gwinnett mortally. He died three days later on May 19, 1777 at the age of 45; from gangrene (which is a condition where certain areas of the body are being restricted due to loss of blood flow.) he contracted this from the shattered bone in his leg during a duel. McIntosh survived and continued to serve his country. Gwinnett's grave is believed to be in the Old Colonial Cemetery, later called Colonial Park, in Savannah, Georgia.
