Question
You replied to someone that a partial set of these coins was not worth anything, but I have a whole set, are they worth anything?

Answer
Patti,

As I explained to the previous questioner, unfortunately there is just no viable resale market for privately minted items like this.  And having no precious metal in them, you cannot even sell them for bullion value.

If you have the whole set, in a nice case, with attractive pictures, and a bit of luck, you might get $25 for the set on eBay.

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.
