There are 480 grains in 1 Troy ounce. If each commemorative medal contains 500 grains, that is equivalent to 1.0416667 Troy ounce in each medal. Sterling silver is 92.5% pure silver. Thus, .925 x 1.041667 = 0.963542 Troy oz. of pure silver. You can then multiply 0.9653542 times the current spot price of silver to determine the approximate melt value of each medal. Multiply that times the number of medals in the set to get a total approximate melt value. Sets such as these generally sell for a premium over the melt value. With silver at $18.00/Troy oz., each coin would be worth $17.34 melt value. If there are 38 coins in the set, the total of the medals would be 38 X $17.34 = $$658.92. To that would be added some premium to represent fabrication, packaging, and distribution.
I would say it is at least over 1 thousand if not 2 thousand
about $45 if in mint condition
These coins were issued by the Franklin Mint starting in 1968. The first issue was 50 coins about 1.5 inches in diameter sterling silver. Only 1380 sets were issued. Then a second series was issued in 1972

There is no information because the presidential dollar series is being struck in the same copper-manganese alloy as the Sacajawea dollar coins. None are in sterling silver.
Whatever the spot value of silver is times the total weight of pure silver in the set less all the fees the leeches in between you and the buyer will take.
1000 grams sterling is currently worth about $415 ... 1000 grains sterling is worth about $27
The address of the Grevemberg House Museum is: 407 Sterling Rd, Franklin, LA 70538
Sterling, Virginia to be more precise.
I would need more information on the particular coin you have to give you an exact price, but these are highly collectible coins. The Franklin Mint States of the Union Series (mostly .925 Sterling, and some Bronze), The Franklin Mint States of the Union Series "Governors' Edition" (24K on .925 Sterling or .925 Sterling), and The Franklin Mint States of the Union "Treasures Edition" (24K on .925 Sterling) are all very respectable, rare coin sets. These coins were all issued by The Franklin Mint from 1969 until 1972. The Franklin Mint also made a mini "Platinum Edition" States of the Union Series in 1969. The 24K on Sterling "Governors' Edition" were minted from 1970-1972. And, the Bronze "Governors' Edition" series were minted in 1970-1971. These sets all fall into the category of commemorative coins. The vast majority of commemorative coins, even if Sterling Silver or 24K clad Sterling, are worth little more than the value of the metal they're made of. This is because they're not minted by the Federal Reserve, and are generally produced in very vast quantities. However, these three Franklin Mint sets were all very limited in quantity, and are now quite rare. The value varies on the series, the metal, and the year. The main factor in the value of these coins is the number of coins minted in each particular year/series/metal. I won't estimate a value on the Bronze or mini Platinum series, but the Bronze coins are the most common and the mini Platinum coins are among the rarest. Falling close behind the Platinum series, in terms of rarity, are the 24K gold clad Treasures Edition coins. Both the mini Platinum and the 24K gold clad Treasures series are extremely valuable. The standard Sterling Silver States of the Union Series and the Sterling Silver "Governors' Edition" range in value from $25-$30 each to well over $100 each. Some coins from the standard set exceed the "Governors' Edition" in value, again depending on series and mintage. Remember, all of these coins become much less valuable once removed from their original cards, which seals the coin in plastic. Jerry Austin, Independence Coins Charlotte, NC
