I received this as a gift. The coins are presented in a cool wooden case and the coins themselves are a great keepsake - the 13 colony quarters probably aren't worth more than the quarter that they are, but the assortment of coins is nice. This is something unique that won't be obsolete in 2 years like most technology gadgets, but likely grow in value over time.This gift actually inspired me to start coin collecting -that's how much I liked it.
