Do broken Double Mint Sets have any value?

I have half of a 1948-S Double Mint Set comprising of the 1c, 5c, 10c, and 25c in a old Whitman plastic holder. No 50c was minted that year.

    I would say so.... especially if the remaining coins are original and with some eye appeal.

    But it is no longer a double mint set. No buyer should even think of it that way. It is quite possible that some or all of the coins were never in a Mint set. [Even when in the original cardboard holder. ]

    The coins have whatever value they have based on the coin itself with essentially zero value traceable to the Mint set.

    All comments reflect the opinion of the author, even when irrefutably accurate.

    Do they “have any value”? Yes, of course. 😉
    But as @jmlanzaf posted, no value beyond that of the individual coins.
