I was at the local antique mall today & saw a Bahamas coin set that was minted by the Franklin Mint. I passed it by without much of a look because it was from the Franklin Mint. I did a little research when I got home & it looks like these sets have some silver in them, but I can't find any info on how much.

Can anyone tell me how much actual silver weight is in one of these? Any idea of a market value? I don't have that much interest in the set but hate to think I might have passed up a deal on some bullion. Unfortunately, I don't remember the year or exactly what was in the set, except that there were several large coins included.

Without a picture, all I can suggest is a Bahamas coin search on ebay, 'till you see similar. Then the seller may have listed specs, or better yet scanned the COA.

I am somewhat familiar with gold coin sets made by the RCM for the Bahamas/Virgin Is/Caymen Is etc., and I realize the Franklin Mint also made gold proof sets for same. There are quite a few, so with silver proofs added in, the numbers mount. The older sets would be sterling, but nowadays read that COA carefully.
Rest in Peace

Wish I could help because we were in the Bahamas not too long ago, and I think it was the same set I saw in a coin shop there. I remember it was out of my price range, but I also remember wondering about the coins' metal content.
