It is a very difficult question to answer and here is the reason why. In 1611 England, a farmer could buy a cow for 1 shilling. I'm sure that the reason you are asking the question is that you found out that the Bound King James Version sold for 12 Shillings. Only about half the population of England made 12 shillings A YEAR. So if you do the math, how much does half the Canadian population make in a year? If you answer $40,000 then that is how much a King James Version costs in 1611. That is why, though the claim is made that it was written for the common man, the common man could not afford it. Only the elite could afford a King James Version which was originally written in the Shakespearean style for the elite and not the common man. Today's King James Version (and I don't mean "Revised King James Version") is very different in style than the original of 1611. I just want to add, if you ever want to use a Bible that is a translation of the original tongue, use a "Translation" and not someones "Version".
