This was my dad's and I have searched everyway I know to find out the value. I am unable to find this exact set in a wood box. I had it listed on ebay for $14.50 but removed it after seeing others much higher.Any help is muchly appreciated.

@rke, not wanting to get into politics, but I don't think that there is any numismatic value to these pieces. If you happen to like the person depicted, then you might want them. Otherwise, not.

Would agree you need to look at sold listings to get a few comps.

As a general rule, political medals - and these are "medals", not "coins" - are a very niche market: a few people avidly collect them, a few people actively dislike them, and most coin collectors don't really care one way or the other but don't really want them or want to pay much for them.

For Donald Trump items, just like the man himself, it's polarizing - the crowd of "apathetic about it" people will be smaller, and the "love it" and "hate it" crowds will be bigger. As for how all this translates into actual market value for such items... your guess is as good as mine. In the end, "it's worth what someone is prepared to pay". There aren't enough of them around and being bought and sold for any kind of "accepted market value" to be determinable for any one specific medal issue.

For that reason, it's these sorts of things that really do best in an ebay auction format, rather than a buy-it-now fixed price. Slap it down on ebay for 99 cents opening bid, and see what happens.

I think no matter what one's feelings on the subject, if there are no precious metals involved then interest/value will be quite low.

This is not a coin set but a privately produced set of medals. I doubt there are any precious metals in them, so value is what someone would pay you for them.

Got "Coin Vault" TV show written all over it - "For $49.99 - even comes with it's own lacquered wood presentation box"

But definitely now would be the time to sell.
