Any ideas what these are?

Well the bottom ones are Canadian specimen or proof or proof-like sets... I can't recall which term they use or which packaging they use for what types. On the upper pictures, I can't read what they are. Any more info you can read off to us?

no more info... :thumbdown:
They are in an auction Saturday so I won't know until I get there. My guess might be the franklin mint. Hopefully I can get some of the morgans or peace albums, they have about 10 of those.

I'm guessing the top pic is Franklin mint medallic history of Civil War

http://www.icollectfranklinmint.com/134927_item_the_american_heritage_society_medallic_history_of_the_civil_war_medals_collection_____franklin_mint__1980.html?path=/price-guide/&category=293#

or similar.

The next one down is probably also a Franklin mint 'Medallic history of'

They did a lot of different themes. most are Sterling, some are gold-plated sterling.
