    Hi Rounded! Do you know who produced them? Are the dates when they were struck? What metals are they struck in? This would help me decide if it was me buying them.

    None of the items you listed are US Commemorative coins.

    That's all I needed to know. I have a 2002 Red Book (given to me for now) and there were not in there. So that tells me if it's not in the book there not U.S. Coins?

    Thanks for the info and confirmation.

    More than likely tokens or medals issued by a private mint.....

    1) They are not coins.
    2) they are commemorative tokens, medals, or so-called $'s.

    3) If you like them, buy them.

    no, it simply means that they are not coins.

    There are items issued by the US Mint that are medals, and such that are not listed.

    Besides the silver shown above, they were also struck in bronze.

    Silver as in .999 fine silver?

    rounded, 0.999 silver is bullion grade silver. Silver coins and (most?) medals are 90% silver (0.900 silver).

    So like the 1964 halfs the Commerative Coins would be worth keeping based on the silver count 90%?

    Correct me if I am wrong, but the Pony Express Diamond Jubilee is struck in German Silver (a cheap white metal) and not Silver. I don't know about the others though.
