Answer 1

It is free to see the Liberty Bell.

Answer 2

The Liberty Bell was ordered for purchase by the colony government,

the Pennsylvania Assembly, in 1751 to be hung in the new constructed State House (Independence Hall).

The Assembly requested their London agent, Robert Charles, to purchase a bell of approximately "two thousand pounds weight".

Charles commissioned the Whitechapel Bell Foundry in London to cast the bell.

Robert Charles bill to the Province of Pennsylvania states as follows:

"1752 May To cash for the cost of a Bell

with frt (freight) & Insurance £150.13.8

(150 pounds, 13 shillings and 8 pence.)"

Pass and Stow's bill for the recasting states as follows:

"1753 June For Recasting the State house bell wt 2044 lbs

at 4 pence Sterling pr. lb. £34.1.4; For 37 lb additional wt

at 14 pence per lb. Sterling £2.3.2."

Pass and Stow's bill for the recasting of the Liberty Bell totaled £36.4.6

That's about $225 US dollars!

Answer 3

According to the site at the link below, the original cost of the Liberty Bell in 1751 was £150.13.8, or 150 pounds, 13 shillings, and 8 pence. Additionally, it cost £34.1.4, or 34 pounds, 1 shilling, and 4 pence, to have it recast in 1753.

The site also says that the equivalent in US currency was $225, but the conversion is wrong. The pound sterling at that time was valued at approximately $4.80, making the original price in dollars $723.28, and the cost of recasting $163.52, for a total of $886.90.
