CUHockey32 New Member United States 1 Posts	Posted 09/01/2018 2:24 pm I just bought a set of 'Silver Presidential Medals' from a gentleman in the area. He says he bought each for $39.95 over a long period of time. However, I can't seem to find information on these. Do they look authentic? Any advice on what I should do to determine value? I appreciate any tips. Report this Post to the Staff

commems CCF Master Historian of USA Commemoratives United States 12269 Posts	Posted 09/01/2018 2:36 pm They appear to be genuine US Mint bronze presidential medals that have been silver plated by a third party (not the Mint). The amount of silver they contain is negligible. While I can imagine that their selling price was $39.95 each via subscription, their current value is likely $5.00 or so per medal.

They're a gimmick, looks pretty in the magazine, the unknowing get hooked and then don't quit receiving them. There's horror stories of husbands putting $50,000 of life savings into these things and the widow finding out they're only worth $5.000. Sadly it is allowed to go on. Report this Post to the Staff
