 to the forum! First off, those are not coins in the literal sense. They are ingots made in different metals and stamped with the JFK design. I'd say only the silver one (.999 Fine Silver) is worth anything. That's assuming that it actually is made of silver. Edited by The Silver Searcher

They seem to just be bullion items, FS is fine silver.

I'd hate to open up the plastic, but would you think that silver coin is pure silver or just plated? I found it for $5 bucks today and I was hoping it might be interesting to someone, like make on ebay or something. |

I suppose it's probably solid, as that amount of silver is worth under five bucks. Also, I may be wrong, but I believe pewter contains some silver. If so, that might carry a tiny bit of value.

If I was to sell the whole thing, what do you think it might be worth? I'm still scouring google for this coin and I'm not coming up with anything...

Look over the tokens/medals or whatever they are for any sign of manufacture. That might help you find info about them on the net. John1  |

I would start 8t on ebay for $9.95 and see where it goes. There is ALOT of kennedy collectors who want anything with his Visage on it as well as coin collectors who like him on little round metal discs of any sort. Fine silver is pure silver so if the coin states that I would sell it as such leaving it the way it is and promoting it as "kennedy coin type rounds, 999 fine silver, copper, pewter, bronze"... something of that nature should get alot of interest from kennedy and coin/token collectors |

Also, I may be wrong, but I believe pewter contains some silver. Pewter is an alloy of tin and copper. In the order of 85-95% tin the rest copper or other mixtures of lesser metals. pewter does have an odd properity of keeping things cold so it was popular for drinking vessels and pitchers. If you start dealing with antique pewter you will notice it has many different colors. This is from the different metals used. Silver is sometimes used, but not normally. For a while lead was used quite a bit which gives it a greyish color. Aluminum is used now to give it a very nice shine. |

Look like Canadian Art Dies (CAN. ART. Dies) emissions from the 1960s.
