Any idea what original mint package for early commems go for?

I recently ran into a Lexington commem which still had the wood box it came in from the mint. This is only the second time I've ever seen the packaging on an early commem. Amazingly enough, the coin is still blast white, even though it's been sitting against bare wood for who knows how long.

    Is that yours, Placid? If so where did you come by it? Very nice.
    I left you a new message in the other thread. I meant it sincerely.

    Yep, that's exactly what it looks like!

    For what it's worth, I do know that a board member (I don't remember who), bought the original packaging for a set of three commems (with no coins) for upwards of $1000.

    If it's the real wooden holder, and not a modern wood copy, they sell for about $50.

    I inherited it. I have no idea of the value thou other than a guess.
    Maybe a few hundred dollars to the right person would be my guess.
