[QUOTE="mlov43, post: 26705791, member: 16729"]I am currently researching contemporary Philippine coins (1958 to 1990s). The Krause catalog shows that during the striking of Ferdinand Marcos’ “Ang Bagong Lipunan” (New Society) circulation strikes in the 1975-1982 period, the Franklin Mint provided all the proof issues of this Philippine circulation coinage. They also switched from the San Fran Mint to Franklin Mint starting in 1975 to strike their proof sets. I have a few questions, all pertaining to their Philippine proof issues; these questions have also been asked by others at different coin forums with no really informed responses now for years. These questions may likely be answered by the (original) Franklin Mint archives (internal documentation and correspondence records). [B]Does anyone know WHERE the Franklin Mint’s documents ended up? [/B] I know they auctioned off a bunch of plasters and original artwork that FM had in it vaults once the company dissolved about 10 years ago. Where did their documents end up? Asking for a friend~!
