Anybody know anything about these? What are they worth? Sorry about the bad scans. With these limited to 950 sets they should be somewhat rare, right?

they are worth bullion value only to me, they are NOT coins and they are NOT from the U.S. mint or any other government mint.

Rare, yes. Valuable, no, I wouldn't think so (not too much above bullion value, anyway). For something rare to also be valuable, it also has to be in demand - specifically, for these sets, more than 950 people must want them. I don't think these are any more in demand than any other privately issued rounds.

The "Royal Hawaiian Mint" was another of Bernard von Nothaus' bullion schemes, which in more recent times also included the more famous "liberty dollars". They, too, were no doubt sold for much more than the actual bullion value of the rounds.

You'd probably have the best luck selling them if you are in Hawaii as someone may want them as a piece of Hawaii memorabilia. If you can't find someone like that you are probably looking at melt value.
