Need Help Please

Doodlelady

I need information on Hershey Coin Club coins if any one can help. I have a total of 89 coins in binder. **1-1968 Gold, 44-(1965-2008) silver and bronze. **
The edge of the gold coin reads MACO 10K 24
The edge of the silver coins reads The Medal Arts Co Inc Roch N.Y. FS .999 24
I would like a ball park on what they are worth and how to sell them
Thanks

Jan

None of those are gold.

The silver are worth melt, the bronze? not much

They look like privately made tokens for the Coin Club. Some of these are listed on EBay.

There were some medals actually issued in gold and silver. See the end of this thread:

Those are nicely made, though. And wouldn't MACO imply Medallic Arts Co.?

At the bottom of one page, there is a 1968 dated 'Bridge' Medal that could possibly be in gold.

The best buyer for these is going to be some Hersheyite or former Hersheyite that has fond memories of his or her hometown.

Finding the right person is the real trick.

Value, other than a percentage of melt for the silver ones, is very difficult to determine. There are collectors of coin club medals and that is a rather impressive grouping. Unfortunately, the market is thin so disappointment as to their value is possible. Try offering them on the Buy, Sell, Trade (BST) portion of this forum.

I'd be interested in the chocolate coins.
Joking aside it looks like a very cool set, I really like coins in albums.

Thanks for all your comments

@Doodlelady..... Welcome aboard......Very nice set of coins and good pictures as well. I am not familiar with these... the thread links posted will help you a bit. Since these will likely not have general collector interest, you will need to find someone who specializes in this area. Best of luck... Cheers, RickO
