Question
ISSUED BY MARSHAL ISLANDS/SET OF 24 COINS/SEALED INDIVIDUALLY IN VELVET DISPLAY CASE.  CAN YOU GIVE ME ANY INFORMATION SUCH AS DATE ISSUED, TYPE OF METAL, ORIGINAL VALUE, CURRENT VALUE.  YARD SALE PURCHASE.  EXCELLENT CONDITION.

Answer
Janice,

I found a website with them listed, and according to that website they were issued in 1991 and are each 1 ounce of silver :

I believe they are seriously overpriced on that website, but they did provide information about them.  I would estimate the value to be about $20 each ($480 total), but perhaps the people running that website might be willing to pay you more.

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.
