    A Sliver Seals Collection? No way! I've only seen silver seals.
    Just kidding. Welcome to cointalk!
    And the only reason for my post was to yank your chain about misspelling 'silver,' I have no idea what those even are.

    haha i just noticed that. Yea I been having alot of issue trying to find out what this collection is worth or where they even came from. The papers say that they are from the franklin mint.

    The Franklin mint is a non-government mint that makes stuff like this all the time. They usually use sterling(92.5%) silver to strike.

    rickmp Frequently flatulent.

    Did the Franklin Mint ever put out anything that gained any value over melt?

    Franklin Mint is usually a bad sign. Their stuff is not really collectible, so most stuff they put out is worth melt (a little bit less probably if its .925).

    I don't think the Franklin Mint destroys the dies used to make them , even if they did they usually are sold for their silver content . Still an interesting set .
