I am trying to valuate coins for an elderly Aunt. They are in a casing of 18 and contain famous places in the United States such as the White House, Bolder d***, Statue of Liberty, Mt. Rushmore, etc. I have looked everywhere I can locate. Someone once answered an email and suggested they were tokens but did not follow through. Any suggestions?

Hi Maria and welcome to the forum!

From what I can see, some (all?) of them look like knock-offs of the $5 Half Eagle commemorative series, produced perhaps at one of the private mints, e.g., Franklin Mint. However, the pictures are too small for a better ID. Could you post larger (closer) pictures of both sides?

Totally agree. These are minted privately. Some are made in precious metals such as silver, but the majority (95%) are made of base metals and carry very little value. (other than tv or mail order)
