collect4fun Pillar of the Community United States 1151 Posts	Posted 03/24/2007 12:17 pm Is there any value to the tokens that are included in mint sets? I would imagine that there are some people who collect these, but do they have any value outside the cello mint wraps? I will be breaking down some mint sets to fill holes in some albums and was wondering what to do with these tokens. Suggestions? Report this Post to the Staff

If the token is meant to be there in the mintset, then it should be left as it is so that the mintset will be worth it's full value. But otherwise, it's just usually worth it's metal value.

just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 03/24/2007 6:56 pm At one time there was a new book called the Red Book on coins. No one collected them because no one collected them. Then people found out that there were people collecting them and the prices for each began to increase. At one time we all had American Flyer and Lionel Trains and just got rid of them when we got to old for them and no one collected them either. Now each piece of track cost lots of money. Hot Wheel and Match Box cars, Beanie Babies, etc. all started out as no one collects them. As to those tokens you mentioned, go to a coin show. They are being sold there.
