Antique Car Coin Collection?

    I've seen two collections like this for sale lately. One at a local consignment shop (sadly, 4 coins are missing), and another in a Craigslist ad (complete, below).

    "25 piece bronze antique car coin collection in excellent condition. Series 2. From Year 1901 to 1925. Franklin mint."

    Curious if anyone here collected these, and what a complete set is worth. And, if they are still able to be purchased individually in order to complete a set (if needed).

    Thank you.

    No real set value, worth whatever you can get out of it. Often seen at flea markets and the like for a few dollars. I am sure an old car enthusiast may be interested in something like this.

    Thanks guys. I didn't think they were worth much.

    I just thought they were interesting since I've never seen such a set. I'm not into cars at all, but wanted to get some opinions on the set.

    Ironically, the complete set is being sold for $5, while the incomplete set has a $40 price tag. :greedy:

    If you like it, what's $5? People all too often place too much weight on the almighty "value" instead of simply focusing on what they enjoy. There's very little "enjoyment" that can be had or purchased today for so little money... Think about it.

    Oh, I know that $5 is nothing compared to obtaining a nice little complete set of coins that you might like or think is interesting.

    I thought the set was interesting and neat, but I'm not a car enthusiast. Especially antique cars. But still....

    Oh, decisions decisions....
