One of the only references available for this set of coins is an ad in the May 14th edition of the Toledo Blade Newspaper. The set of 36 medallions came in either sterling silver on gold on sterling. To get your set you had to start a subscription. In 1972 they were sold for $10(Sterling silver) or $15(gold on sterling) per medallion.
If you have a complete set they can sell anywhere from $150 $425 depending on where you sell it. If you don't have a complete set it will be worth less.
These are not made by any US mint, and have no numismatic value. If the coins are silver and not silver plated, the value would be for the silver in the coins.
Any reputable coin dealer will tell you that gold plated coins are worthless to a collector and they are damaged. However, often gold plated coins are sold (often deceptively) to buyers via TV or internet marketing. There are only a handful of gold plated coins created by legitimate government mints that are collectible (this is the same for "colorized" coins) but the US mint has not made any of them. A gold plated US coin is damaged and generally only worth face value (or silver scrap value in the case of older coins).
Plated coins are considered to be altered items with no extra numismatic value.
Modified coins have no collector value.
Modified coins have no collector value.
what is the value of these coins
Gold plated coins are novelty coins with no collectible value and are not made by the US Mint.
The plating was not done by the U.S. Mint. Many different coins have been privately plated and sold as collectibles. I have seen many S.B.A. coins of all dates and mintmarks that have been plated. But none of them have any collectible value. Does anyone have any idea how may of these coins may have been plated and would that effect their value in any way?
The gold plated Bicentennial coins dual dated 1776-1976 were plated out side of the mint and not issued by the Us government they are novelty coins and have little or no collectible value.
This was not done by the U.S. Mint. These coins were plated by private companies for to be sold for profit as collector pieces. Their value is limited to the worth of the metals use to make them plus whatever premium a person may be willing to pay to own them. For a collector of U.S. Mint coins they are considered altered and have no place in such a collection.
Not much. Modified coins have no collector value.
Technically the coins are altered an have no numismatic collectible value, the plating is NOT done by the US Mint and adds nothing to the value of the coins. Most dealers (myself included) won't even make an offer on this stuff. As to value, I just did a search on EBay and it showed a winning bid of $52.00 for a set like this.
