OldGold Valued Member United States 272 Posts	Posted 09/23/2014 5:51 pm A friend at work mentioned that his mother had a Franklin half dollar 5 coin US Mint commemorative boxed set (dated 50s and early 60s). I have not seen this set in person and I have not been able to find any information online on this set for him. Does anyone here have any ideas? Report this Post to the Staff

OldGold Valued Member United States 272 Posts	Posted 09/23/2014 6:01 pm That is what I said, but he assures me it is a US Mint box (and he collects a lot of mint sets). I asked for pictures also. Report this Post to the Staff
Matteproof Pillar of the Community Korea, Republic Of 1881 Posts	Posted 09/23/2014 6:28 pm that it definitely sounds like it was put together by a private company (aka "Mint"). ...and Franklin halves aren't even commems in the first place. We need pics. Report this Post to the Staff
Night-Hawk Pillar of the Community United States 1002 Posts	Posted 09/23/2014 7:52 pm This is probably a third party set. We definitely need good pics. Some of these "third party mints" use very deceptive names.. Report this Post to the Staff

commems CCF Master Historian of USA Commemoratives United States 12258 Posts	Posted 09/23/2014 11:49 pm Agree with others... This is definitely not a set assembled and sold by the US Mint; it was put together by a third party and (apparently) incorrectly promoted as a US commemorative set. Franklin half dollars were regular circulation issues, not commemoratives. Collecting history one coin or medal at a time! (c) commems. All rights reserved. Report this Post to the Staff
