<p>[QUOTE=&quot;hontonai, post: 338755, member: 4703&quot;]Your various sets and series appear to be products of private companies intended for people who are not knowledgeable numismatists.&nbsp; Sad to say, those items rarely, if ever, have any value over that of the individual coins and are almost always worth considerably less than their original sale price.</p><p><br /></p><p>The Marshall Island pieces, and perhaps some of the others, are what is commonly known as Non Circulating Legal Tender, although since the Marshall Islands as a dependency of the United States&nbsp; does not have the power to issue legal tender, technically it&#039;s &quot;coins&quot; are really tokens or medallions.</p><p><br /></p><p>Get yourself a copy of the Guide Book of United States Coins, aka the Red Book.&nbsp; It&#039;s available inexpensively at Walmarts, any book store, most hobby shops, and other outlets.&nbsp; It contains a great deal of information about all US coins including business strikes, proofs, and commemoratives.&nbsp; Although it&#039;s valuations aren&#039;t completely accurate they are generally proportional and can help you flag the few items, if any, with substantial value.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
