<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GSDykes, post: 2192646, member: 73321&quot;]One additional point, concerning Gilroy Roberts:</p><p>In 1971 at the age of 66 and after working at the Franklin Mint for 6 years, Roberts added the title &quot;emeritus&quot; to his position. He was semi-retired for 9 more years (to 1980!) until he retired <span style="color: #ff0000">completely</span> in April of 1980 at the age of 75. AFTER 1980, Roberts did very little for the FM, though in 1986 he did design a Kennedy Commemorative for them. What I am lacking, Mr. Dubya is what exactly did the FM MINT after 1980, of course I mean coins and medals. I cannot find anything showing that they kept on producing new coins. I do see that they did produce some new medals. Which leads me to suspect that their business focus shifted from numismatic products to other collectibles. If you have information to the contrary please inform me.
