Collectors Franklin Mint Silver Coins

By George Hugo

The Franklin mint silver coin is one of the most popular coin-like collectibles manufactured by the Middletown Pennsylvania based company. Franklin mint operates as a private corporation which was founded back in 1960s.

The man behind the formation of the private corporation was Joseph Segal. Generally Franklin Mint productions have been considered in the past to be the choice item for lower income classes. This is the perception held by the majority of Americans.

Initially the company promoted its private minted gold and silver guineas and memorial medals. Then with the passage of time, they branched out into the production of other collectibles.

A sharp increase in the value of silver in the 1960s brought all silver coins out of domestic circulation. Some casinos were making use of silver dollars in slot machines which actually became worth much more than a dollar.

An official fact is that Franklin mint silver coins were used in the position of real silver dollar coins in casinos.

This massive production capacity in Pennsylvania has the capacity to produce numerous sets of ingots, coins and themed medallions. These were sold on a shipment basis and buyers had to order periodically through a subscription plan.

Although Franklin Mint silver coins are the most popular of all the company's productions, silver was not the only medium used by the company. In fact the company ventured into producing special coin-like collectibles out of various precious and semi-precious metals.

The company made use of various themes on its coin like collectibles. From popular art masterpiece themes to important personalities you could find a plethora of different designs of Franklin mint coins.

The competitive pricing of the coins resulted in huge orders consequently contributing to their popularity.

To increase the purchase price and get a better profit the Franklin mint company created unique wooden boxes to showcase the coins in a better way and make them more appealing. Special certificates authentication are also issued with each piece thereby enhancing the value of the purchase.

Of course the company met its objective of driving up the purchase price, this was around the same time as the cost of silver rose in the local and domestic markets.

This resulted in a slump in sales and the company then had to utilize metals like pewter and bronze to make the products affordable for their clients. However, these metals did not hold the same appeal as the beautiful silver coins produced originally by the Franklin mint company. - 23159
