The 'Franklin Mint'
The Mint at its zenith - 1970s and 1980s, became the largest privately-owned mint in the world. Paving the way for the myriad collections of non-circulating legal tender commemorative coins issued in recent decades.
It also leveraged modern Numismatics towards the model of legal tender coins being issued by private mints on behalf of other countries.
An excellent, interesting article about an iconic company, which helped pave the way for many collectors & companies in the coin and medal world... Link below

Have a nice evening.

I hope you have a robust sense of humour - you'll probably need it with Merv and I. We can take it too, though!
Good to greet a new member.

But yes, they were originally bought as precious pieces. I'm sure I have many treasures that will be sent to either a charity shop or landfill.
