Franklin mint coins of all nations.

I strongly believe that the mintage of most moderns is way to high for them to become scarce or valuable one day. And in many countries there simply aren’t enough collectors. But who knows... time will tell.

I think if the person contacts me I am going to spin the wheel for 200 dollars seams like a good deal plus as others have said the republic of China can get quite valuable there are sales on eBay all over the place. And slot of the other pages sell for 10 plus. Thanks for all the input. Hopefully they call me they sent an email yesterday that they still had them

 

Well the guy for coins called back im picking them up friday can you tell from this pick if this is the card that people want

 

Also he said ther we are 159 sheets

 

so it appears you are really paying for the presentation and not the coins. Typical Franklin Mint.

 

If nobody ever wants them they'll never have much value.

All over the world people are waking up and realizing these coins with astronomical mintages simply were never saved. Often they were melted or destroyed but even where they were not they don't exist in pristine condition because they were worn out in circulation. Many of these moderns have become quite valuable such as Soviet, Indian, and Chinese coins. As time goes on there is likely to be a much more widespread demand for ever more countries and in most cases there will be very little supply.

 

Say what you will but FM quality is generally superb. On items they designed there is lots of artistic merit as well. Even the packaging is usually superb.

The reason most have little value is that mintages were high. Usually the silver sets had mintages around 10,000 and gold around 3,000.

But I wonder how high these numbers will seem in the future. Also lots of the gold and silver items are treated as scrap because there is very weak demand so gold gets redeemed for face value and is melted along with the silver.

I wouldn't suggest anyone buy Franklin Mint for appreciation but these are actual coins and they are high quality coins. Some of the FM made coins are already enjoying large premiums as well. Most of the medals are likely to always be too high mintage for the few individuals who collect medals and this is less likely to change. Their problem was quality led to popularity. It wasn't mass produced garbage like most things now days. And, yes, I'm aware their prices were considered somewhat high.

 

Of course these AREN'T all Franklin Mint made coins. They are just coins that they got from the different nations central banks or mints and used to make up the sets. Some of the coins in the collection may be Franklin Mint but not all of them.

I can't find it now but there used to be a list online of all the pages in this set and what coins were in them, including variants.

 

Be it as it may, I'd still rather have a superb set of Jefferson Nickels and Roosevelt dimes than any FM product. Probably save some money too!
