Coins themselves in such low grades can't be worth more than melt. Looks like another rip-off deal aimed at naïve buyers.  |

To get more, you'd have to find someone who is interested in these sorts of "investments", but willing to buy it from you rather than the original source. Maybe someone else here has another idea?

Sorry to say that I agree with above, low grade coins, some look cleaned $280-$300 tops! |

Looks neat and it must be worth more than melt. I usually say "buy the coin not the holder" when referring to TPG's but it works with this also. I like it. John1  |

What are your intentions (keep or resell)?
Does the drawer lock?

Heck, if you like it, keep it a while. Maybe begin upgrading with MS examples.

I like the presentation of the box. If that was mine, I'd attempt to slowly upgrade the coins. That case with lots of UNC coins would look great on display.

Sorry, this defines the expression "pig in a poke". There's nowhere to start here except over.  |

If one searches US half dollars on ebay with the word "complete" a boatload of complete sets appear including one which looks familiar (and frankly rather optimistic.) |
