Question
I have a set of 24 $10 Brass coins in a collection box marked "Legendary Aircraft of World War II". They were issued in 1991 by the Republic of the Marshall Islands. What are they really worth in the real world? Thanks for any info.
Randy,
Sorry but thay have no real value -- perhaps $10 for the whole set as a novelty thing.
Unfortunately that's how it is for these privately minted sets -- even though it says Republic of Marshall Islands, they were actually privately minted by some company like Franklin Mint or Danbury Mint. The only way they'd have any value is if they contained silver or gold -- then they would have a melt value.
I hope this helps,
Dan

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.
