Question
if I remove the siver medals from the first day covers, are the covers themselves still worth anything?  Do you know if fdc's with a name and address or worth more or less than unaddressed ones?
thank you for any help you can give me.

Answer
Hello Marleen,
Although stamps are not my area of expertise, from what I have learned, I know this.  If the FDC's originally had silver medallions, any collector who might be interested in purchasing the FDC's would want the medallions.  Based on that, I would say that the FDC's without the medallions would be worth little if anything.  
Unaddressed FDC's are worth more than those addressed.
Regards,
