to the funny farm!

All those sets are what is known as aftermarket products. They were put together by private firms, not the US Mint and sold as "souveniers". Some are to celebrate a specific coin or type of coins. They are somewhat collectable as novelty items bit not worth much more than the individual coins value would be. The older silver coins have at least a silver melt value. If the coins have been cleaned or polished, they are damaged and then worth melt only. The cents one has corroded and is pretty worthless now. The best one for value possibility may be that Mercury dime set.

Personally, when I buy these at auctions, I take the coins out and use them in sets to sell or stack the silver. The resale of these isn't very high.

Agree they aren't worth a great deal, but just having the coins in their original holders is kind of cool and a collection in itself.

Although they are low value, they actually are neat in those after marketing holders. Dealers will pay almost nothing for them (except silver) so enjoy them as interesting pieces.

You can also use these as burgled bait. Put them in a bedroom dresser and the thieves will leave when they think they've hit the gold mine.
Rest in Peace

ebay is where you will find the current market value for items like this, if you had a mind to sell them (and when you see what they sell for, you will understand why other posters said to just keep them). As a general rule, you can use the search feature in ebay to do your own research on what common coins are worth.

Including shipping (remember that costs about $3), here are some recent sale prices:
America's Favorite Coins has sold for $7.25 to $8.50 (silver melt value $3.26) https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_fr...e=1&_fosrp=1

Coins of the Vatican has sold between $5.59 and $8.76 https://www.ebay.com/sch/Coins-Pape...e=1&_fosrp=1

The Mercury dime Collection has sold for between $10.50 and $16.43 (silver melt value $5.35) https://www.ebay.com/itm/SSCA-SILVE...AOSwyDFa846P
