I bought the coin collection, 2 sets, but not the medallions. What was the original cost of the Medallion set?

Ive had two of those folders, one I got for face value and sold for face value, the other I purchased for less than face value and took back to the bank. Theyre not the worst looking coins. Its a shame there is no market for them.

My parents bought me a few of them in 1999, when I was 9 years old in order for me to encourage to save up buy the rest of the set from the post office for $9.95 each. Never really got into them, but I do admit they are a good looking coin.
