If the King was a normal piece, what would its value be?

It’s probably worth 4 in the endgame and 3.5 overall.

3.55 in the endgame (3 + 5/9). Update 2022 The king is at least on par a knight in the endgame power/influence. Note: Lasker's value of 4 is heavily exaggerated. 

The king is regarded as the strongest unit in minor piece endgames.
