Vintage Car Coins Appraisal

Collectible Antique Car Coins Set

This item is a set of four collectible 'antique car coins' or medallions, each individually housed in a standard paper coin flip holder. The coins appear to be made of a silver-toned metal, possibly a base metal alloy with a silver-plated finish, given the 'Collectible' and 'Antique Car Coins' designation rather than implying actual monetary value or precious metal content. Each coin features a detailed relief engraving of a vintage automobile on its obverse, along with the car manufacturer's name and the year of the model. The set includes: a 'Thomas Flyer' from 1907, a 'Cadillac Model D' from 1905, a 'Willys-Knight' from 1924, and an 'Oldsmobile Curved Dash' from 1907. The reverse sides are not visible. The coins themselves exhibit a bright, somewhat reflective finish, suggesting minimal tarnish or wear on the displayed surfaces. The coin holders are made of white cardboard with clear Mylar windows, showing some light discoloration and faint handling marks consistent with their age and storage, including handwritten labels in black ink identifying the contents of each holder (e.g., 'Flyer (1907)', 'Cadillac (1905)', 'Willys (1924)', and 'Antique Car Coin 1907'). There are no visible major condition issues such as deep scratches or dents on the coins, though the exact condition of the edges and reverse sides cannot be determined. These items are likely commemorative or novelty tokens, probably produced between the mid-20th century and early 21st century to appeal to car enthusiasts and collectors of automobilia. The craftsmanship appears to be of reasonable quality for mass-produced collectible items, with clear detailing on the vehicle engravings.
