thanks, michael
Michael,
Not sure where they come from -- perhaps mint souvenir sets sold only at the mint souvenir store?
I could not find any Denver ones, but there are several similar medals on eBay for the other mints -- Philadelphia and San Francisco -- so you can see what they sell for :

Expertise
My strong familiarity with all U.S. Mint coins, extensive reference library, and close relationships with many other dealers allows me to identify just about any coin made in the USA. I receive regular updates to all the current price guides -- both wholesale & retail -- to provide accurate values. So, with a good description or pictures, I should be able to identify and value any U.S. coin you have.
Experience
I've been a coin dealer since the 1980's and a coin collector since the 1960's. I specialize in U.S. Silver Coins and have an active online website -- The Working Man's Rare Coins -- http://www.workingmancoins.com -- offering information and inventory in U.S. coins.
