<p>[QUOTE="mkwelbornjr, post: 991298, member: 17034"]Most of the medals, ingots, coins of the realm designed and manufactured by Franklin Mint back when they minted are far superior in every respect to the designs issued by the US Mint over time. Franklin Mint had a full in-house staff of the finest sculptors in the world...for coinage and 3-D work. And FM pioneered the cameo proof finish and the US mint learned the techniques from Franklin Mint. So they are definitly worthy pieces to collect. The stuff from PCS and Danbury Mint (same company) are simpler but unique as well.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
