U.S. Presidents Commemorative Brass Medallion Set

This item is a commemorative set titled "Free For You: A Coin History of the U.S. Presidents." It features a collection of seven brass medallions housed within a dark blue, possibly cardboard or stiff paper, display card. The card itself has a textured appearance and is imprinted with the names of various U.S. presidents in a lighter font, almost resembling a watermark effect, serving as a background for the medallions. The central text "Free For You" and "A Coin History of the U.S. Presidents" is prominently displayed in gold lettering. The medallions are explicitly stated as being "minted in solid brass," which is a key material characteristic. Each medallion depicts a different U.S. President in profile, with some of the visible figures including John F. Kennedy (indicated by 'JOHN KENNEN' on the card and the profile on one coin), Andrew Jackson, and Abraham Lincoln (discernible from the background text and the profiles on the coins). The visible medallions appear to be approximately the size of a U.S. half-dollar or silver dollar, though exact dimensions are not provided. They exhibit a consistent gold-tone metallic luster, characteristic of brass, with some showing slight variations in color indicative of handling or age, possibly light tarnishing or patination. One medallion notably features the Seal of the President of the United States, suggesting it might be a central or key piece in the collection. Another coin has the year '1970' visible, which may indicate its minting year or a significant year related to the depicted president. The overall condition appears good, with no obvious signs of significant damage like bends, deep scratches, or corrosion, although surface wear consistent with handling of a display piece is possible. The craftsmanship appears to be of standard quality for commemorative issues, with clear detailing on the presidential profiles and legends. Given the theme and the use of brass, these are likely non-currency commemorative tokens rather than legal tender.
