silverbulls8 New Member Canada 21 Posts	Posted 01/15/2013 12:56 am I'm not really sure what these are but I assume they are first day covers with the coins attached. Are they worth any more than just the coin itself? If anyone could shed some light that would be great. Couldn't find much on ebay.. Thanks in advance Report this Post to the Staff

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 01/15/2013 09:45 am These are what are called PNC's Philatelic Numismatic Covers. They were an idea dreamed up by the 99 Company as a way to create a new collectible that combined the two fields Often they would be a first day cover with a numismatic tie-in in the form of a coin or medal. Some other companies also created them as well. Even the US Mint has gotten in on it. The State Quarter and President dollar first day covers are a form of PNC. Report this Post to the Staff

biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 01/15/2013 4:35 pm This is NOT a First Day Coin Cover, notice the 1990 postmarks which were stamped long after the last Franklin half dollar rolled off the presses. It is a Philatelic Numismatic Cover but nothing more than mass-marketing dreck, the value would only be derived from the silver half dollar itself. Look on the bright side though, you have roughly $11 worth of silver per cover If the Franklins are uncirculated, they would be worth a bit more.

CelticKnot Bedrock of the Community United States 12816 Posts	Posted 01/15/2013 8:11 pm I like 'em. The stamps are certainly interesting and you've got at least 11 bucks of silver there per cover. Like any specialized collectible, you'd need to find the right buyer to get a premium for these guys. Personally I'd keep 'em. Report this Post to the Staff
