jdmern Pillar of the Community United States 1949 Posts	Posted 08/22/2019 3:48 pm Does anyone know the mintage (or estimated mintage) of this set? Unlisted in Krause and unable to find in any of my other usual resources. Thanks! Boardwalk Numismatics http://stores.ebay.com/jdmern/ https://boardwalknumismatics.com Report this Post to the Staff

VickySilver New Member United States 26 Posts	Posted 08/31/2019 12:13 pm Yes, I can answer. Well, it is unknown. The Franklin Mint changed management sometime around 1980 and the care by which stats were taken and recorded eroded quite a bit. So many times no figures were recorded (at least in a fashion that is available in ANY source to us). So some had numbers posted - and in some case I doubt even these - and in others none recorded. The 1983 mint set fits in that category - unknown mintage. It has NO silver in it, but it is likely rather scarce. However, there are a cadre of collectors such as myself that have followed these over the years. I used to have one, but when wife left she took ALL of my FM sets which I have carefully attempted to rebuild. I know this may not be the forum but would as a collector (NOT DEALER) would be interested if this be for sale. Report this Post to the Staff
