<p>[QUOTE="cpm9ball, post: 1181579, member: 24633"]The impression would affect the value enormously. Just because the seller on SleazeBay is asking $200 for it doesn't mean it will sell at that price. Sellers like this typically hype their merchandise in much the same way as the tv coin shows. The Franklin Mint is known for overpricing their medals, and it would be my guess that they sold these some 40 years ago for $20-$30 and that was when silver was hovering around $5 an ounce. Based on it's size of about 1-1/2", it probably contains about 1 oz. of silver. As for rarity, the Franklin Mint was also famous for stating mintages in production days rather than actual mintages. So, it's "limited production" was usually something like 45 striking days. Hah! If they're capable striking 5,000-10,000 per day, you figure it out.</p><p> </p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
