Coins Mint Proof Sets

Hi all, iv recently inherited some commemorative disney coins and was wondering if they are worth anything. I spent hours on the internet with little result of finding information. according to the paper work they are .999 pure sliver, made in 1990-1991 most of them with a relatively low serial numbers (in the hundreds out of 7,500 5,000 and 10,000). I also have a set of E.T. coins from 1982, they were made by rarities mint. Any information will be useful. also would the coin’s weight be equivalent to current market value of sliver or no (please explain why if you know)? thank you
I just got done going through all of them, most of them say .999 Pure Silver one troy ounce, a few say .999 Fine Silver one troy ounce or .999 silver one troy ounce on the coins itself. the paper work says COMPOSITION: .999 Pure or Fine Silver and WEIGHT: 1 troy ounce (31.103 grams).
P.S. just noticed that my T9 put Sliver instead of Silver sorry about that.

I have a set of commemorative Kiribati Christmas Island Coins from 1999. They’re gold, and have a face value of , , and 0, respectively. They’re in plastic holders and in a nice looking wooden box, along with two vials which contain frankensence and myrrh. I’m wondering if anyone can tell me if these are worth anything? I’ve searched and searched online and I don’t come up with much info.

I can understand a commemorative coin that celebrates the 100th anniversary of an event, but why do we need coins for the 150th, 175th, and 200th anniversaries? Have they run out of ideas and just decided to start repeating coins every 25 years? And how many commemoratives are out there now for Lincoln, and the Lewis and Clark Expedition?! Out of all the events that have happened in this country’s rich history, why do they keep commemorating the same things over and over? I understand the US mint is a business and is trying to make profit, but does this seem a little ridiculous to any other collectors or is it just me?
Sorry I need to clarify: By the Lincoln and Lewis and Clark commemoratives, I was also including the regular coinage that get’s "commemorated" like the Westward Journey series of Jefferson nickels a few years back, in addition to the US Commemorative Coin program coins. The Sacajawea dollar (Sacajawea was part of the Lewis and Clark Expedition), and the Lincoln cent which in itself in 1909 was a 100th anniversary commemorative. And they are now releasing 4 more "commemorative" versions of the cent for his bicentennial.

All of these coins have an in graved picture on the other side. I am pretty sure there are of him in his younger years.

A family member recently passed away. While we were cleaning out her house we discovered boxes and boxes full of stamps and coins from the Postal Commemorative Society. I’ve read other people’s posts about how the secondary value for these are almost nothing, but now I don’t know what to do with all these boxes. I don’t have the space to just store them all, but I’m not sure what the best way to get rid of them is…any suggestions?

I have a full set of uncirculated bronze 1970 Governor’s Edition States of the Union coins from the Franklin Mint, but I can’t find any information on what it’s worth.

Can anyone tell me the approximate value of this set, or possibly direct me to a reputable online price guide for coins wherein I may find the price?

I saw Montel Williams selling these things on MSNBC. Personally, I found it more than just a little tacky. It’s an ounce of zinc clad in gold plate. It’s about the size of an Olympic medal and more than just a little garish.
*****Yes, I’m waiting for somebody to find a corn flake that looks like Obama to list it on Ebay.
P.T. Barnum would be proud of the people selling these coins.

Back in the 70s and 80s, my grandparents were forever buying annual proof sets of U.S. coins as well as "commemorative" coins which were supposedly produced by the U.S. mint.

My grandmother gave me these coins and I’m wondering if they have any real value … or were my grandparents simply taken for a ride by mail order companies?

She also gave me about a dozen "silver certificate" 1-dollar bills from the 1930s. Are these of any value?

Any help is greatly appreciated!
Hey Blue T, thanks for the advice. But just to elaborate, these coins are proofs, sealed in plastic.
