NEW YORK WORLD'S FAIR MEDAL PROCESS SET

I’ve been a subscriber to The E-Sylum for several years and find it very informative on a variety of numismatic subjects, not just literature. I have an inquiry that perhaps you can post as it seems that there are experts in all phases of numismatics among your subscribers. I recently acquired a process set of medals for the 1964 - 1965 New York World's Fair by The Medallic Art Co. These were not presented to me as such, just part of a larger group of miscellaneous medals I purchased from a local coin dealer.

For my own amusement, I scanned each of the medals and made a composite image, front and back. There are eight pieces in the set, from blank planchet to finished medal with 6 stages of manufacture in between. They are not mounted; each is in its own Medallic Art Company box with cotton liners. Each box is rather crudely marked on top with black marker 1, 2, 3, 4, etc. I can't find any info on the medals on the internet. I did find a couple of similar sets for presidential inaugural medals but that's about it. I'm assuming as a set it is quite scarce.

My questions are: Were these issued for sale? Given to VIPs? Given to employees? Snuck out the back door? Might you have any idea as to the value? Any info would be greatly appreciated.
