    This is what I found on a quick google search for the Babe Ruth one

    Quote:

    The NCS's marketing concept set the pattern for many medallic and commemorative societies which followed. Joseph Segal later developed the General Numismatics Corporation to mint the coins as the society grew, and in 1964, GNC became the Franklin Mint, which Segel founded. Each medal in this series measured 39mm, and was minted in Proof Sterling Silver in a limited edition of 5,252. There were 150 medals minted by the Society.

    These medals are the forerunners of what became the Franklin Mint. Joe Segal...a brilliant visionary was not pleased with the quality of NCS Medals so he built up a staff headed by Gilroy Roberts. This staff helped Franklin Mint to strike some of the most beautiful pieces in the world. This knowledge also branched out into the related production of minted silver plates etc...all stunning products...all made in the USA by Franklin Mint.
