Why You Should Be Interested in Buying Franklin Mint Sets...

THE NUMBER ONE REASON IS VALUE!! FRANKLIN MINT SETS CONTAIN MASSIVE AMOUNTS OF PRECIOUS METALS; THIS CREATES UNDERLYING PROTECTION AND APPRECIATION ABOVE AND BEYOND THAT AVAILABLE WITH OTHER COLLECTIBLES. THESE SETS REPRESENT AN ATTRACTIVE ALTERNATIVE TO BULLION COINS OR SIMPLE PRECIOUS METAL INGOTS BECAUSE YOU CAN GET FANTASTIC ARTWORK, PROOF QUALITY MINTING, AND BEAUTIFULLY PRESENTED COLLECTIBLES FOR PRICES SIMILAR TO RAW GOLD OR SILVER BULLION! 

VINTAGE FRANKLIN MINT SETS ARE VERY RARE, BEAUTIFUL, EDUCATIONAL AND OF THE UTMOST QUALITY. MOST FRANKLIN MINT SETS HAVE ORIGINAL MINTAGES OF LESS THAN 5000, SOME LESS THAN 1000, AND A FEW WITH MINTAGES UNDER 500. OF THOSE IT IS ESTIMATED THAT ABOUT 20% REMAIN AVAILABLE (MANY HAVE BEEN MELTED DOWN, SETS BROKEN UP, ETC.). COMPARE THIS WITH A 1921 MS65 PEACE DOLLAR, WITH CURRENT AVAILABILITY OF 2500, THE PRICE OF THIS COIN IS $2400. A PREMIUM OF $2390 ABOVE THE SILVER VALUE FOR A WHOPPING 24,000% PREMIUM.

THE CLOSEST THAT CURRENT ISSUES COME TO FRANKLIN MINT ITEMS ARE MINT COMMEMORATIVE OR SPECIAL ISSUES, WITH ARTWORK AND PACKAGING SIMILAR TO FRANKLIN MINT SETS, AND THESE TYPICALLY SELL FOR A 500%-1000% PREMIUM OR MORE. FRANKLIN MINT PREMIUMS (OVER BULLION VALUE) AVERAGE LESS THAN 50%! BUT THE VALUE IS NOW STARTING TO BE RECOGNIZED, AND THE PREMIUMS PAID FOR COMPLETE SETS IN GOOD CONDITION IS STARTING TO RISE.

DEMOGRAPHICS CREATE A ONCE IN A LIFETIME OPPORTUNITY. EARLY FRANKLIN MINT COLLECTORS FROM THE 1960'S AND 1970'S WERE BORN IN THE 1920’S AND 1930’S. THESE COLLECTORS ARE NOW PASSING THEIR TREASURES TO THEIR LOVED ONES, AND IN TURN MANY OF THESE RARE SETS ARE CURRENTLY BECOMING AVAILABLE ON THE MARKET. HOWEVER, THIS SURGE IN AVAILABILITY WILL SOON PASS, GIVING TODAY'S INVESTORS THE BENEFIT.  

FRANKLIN MINT SETS ARE INCREDIBLE BARGAINS TODAY WHEN YOU CONSIDER THE AMOUNT OF SILVER AND GOLD THEY CONTAIN, AND THE ORIGINAL PRICES THAT PEOPLE PAID FOR THESE SETS 30 YEARS AGO!

Condition Guidelines

There are no accepted standards for grading Franklin Mint items, so we have adopted the guidelines in the following table for describing the Condition of the items for sale. The ratings are subjective, but are based on many years experience with hundreds of these items. If you have questions about the condition of a particular set, please contact us and we will try to clarify it and/or send you additional pictures.

Fair	Good	Very Good	Excellent	Pristine
Most or all medals show noticeable flaws, including scratches, heavy wear, “bag marks”, abrasive cleaning, etc., and/or the packaging is noticeably damaged, broken, torn, heavily scratched, etc.	Some medals may have noticeable scratches, dings, blemishes or other noticeable flaws. The packaging may also have noticeable scratches, marks, dings, dents, wear, tears, stains, etc.	Medals or ingots are in excellent condition, but packaging may show age, wear, scuff marks, fraying, stains, scratches, dings, indentations, etc., and/or some plastic capsules may be scuffed or cracked.	Items appear “like new”, although on close inspection there may be some minor scratches, blemishes, wear, etc. to the medals or the packaging. These are typically sets that were well cared for and rarely handled.	Items still in original Franklin Mint sealed packaging, or items that appear to be “brand new” with no visible (or extremely small) flaws. Pristine items are rare and command a price premium.
