<< <i>Some telemarketers used to market these things and no doubt charged a fortune for a 50-state set. (And, no, they did NOT do 56 incl. the territories!) They're worth face. In fact, to me they're worthless, because I don't want to spend one because someone might find it and call me and ask a bunch of questions about it. So my advice on these is to wait until melting cents is legalized again, and then melt them. >>
Melting them is illegal. Smashing them into something unrecognizable with a hammer is not.
...yet does somehow.

I did sugar-coat it a little so as not to offend anyone.

<< <i>I think it makes them far more interesting than regular boring pennies
Agreed, I would have no problem buying a roll of those at face value. I think they are sort of neat.
if you spend them don't be shocked if the clerk thinks they're fake.
<< <i>I know it was post mint..Did anyone ever see this before..A complete set >>
Oh, you have a complete set. That's different, it's worth 50 cents or whatever you may get someone to pay for it.
I'm in for 50 cents.
