I came across one of these a couple of weeks ago and was wondering if it was worth anymore than just the value of a complete set of Franklin halves. It doesn't look like anything would be worth grading but none are in bad shape.

It has all 35 coins and each one has a different write up about Franklin.

Interesting set. Looks like a typical circulated example in your photos, so it is not going to be worth much more than melt. You may find someone who will give added value to the packaging and information, but I suspect that market is thin. I look forward to other comments from more expert members.

From a numismatic point, non-U.S. Mint assembled sets such as these are quite attractive and informative. There is a market for these, albeit small, so any real value above average for a specimen alone isn't there. Unless of course you own a late night coin show. Personally, I like them.

I have several Postal Commemorative Society Sets, not the Franklins.

I purchased them on ebay for relatively cheap prices. I like them also.
