A Coin History of the U.S. Presidents Commemorative Set

This item is a commemorative set of United States Presidential coins, titled "A Coin History of the U.S. Presidents." The overall presentation is on a royal blue card or board, presumably cardstock or a thin plastic, with a slightly textured finish. The card prominently features the title in a stylized gold script, with "minted in solid brass" printed below it. There are eight individual brass-colored coins, each depicting a different U.S. President, set into circular recesses on the blue background. The coins appear to be uniform in size, likely around the diameter of a typical U.S. quarter or half-dollar. The metal has a prominent brassy-gold hue, indicating they are not official currency but rather privately minted tokens. Each coin features a portrait of a president and their name, with visible dates or years associated with their presidency. For example, one coin clearly shows "JOHN F. KENNEDY" and the year "1961." Another coin shows "THOMAS JEFFERSON." The center of the presentation features a larger, circular brass-colored medallion or coin-like element embossed with the Seal of the President of the United States. This seal is highly detailed, showing the eagle with its wings spread, clutching arrows and an olive branch, encircled by the words "SEAL OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES." The condition of the set appears to be good, with no obvious signs of significant wear, scratches, or damage to the coins or the blue backing. The brass coins show some minor tarnishing or patination consistent with age, but no major discoloration. The lettering on the blue background is clear and legible, although some of the presidential names are partially obscured by the camera angle. The overall craftsmanship suggests a mass-produced collectible, likely from the late 20th to early 21st century, designed for educational or commemorative purposes rather than as an investment in precious metals. The specific presidents depicted include John F. Kennedy, Thomas Jefferson, and potentially others as suggested by the partially visible names on the card (e.g., "EISENHOWER," "GERALD FORD," "WILLIAM J. CLINTON," "GEORGE WA..."). The set includes presidents spanning different eras of U.S. history.
