Instantly popular with collectors, this set of 2006
Franklin Silver Dollars is a tribute to American statesman and
inventor Benjamin Franklin. It includes 4 coins with both the "Scientist"
and "Founding Father" versions in PR70 and MS70 condition.
Franklin Silver Dollar Set Features:
- Honors Benjamin Franklin - issued in 2006 by the United States Mint, these
silver dollars honor Benjamin Franklin on the 300th anniversary of his birth
- Founding Father design - depicts Franklin as one of America's "Founding
Fathers" and features a familiar image of Franklin in his later years. The
image is based on a bust originally executed by French sculptor Jean-Antoine
Houdon in 1778. The reverse of this coin features a replica of a 1776
Continental Currency dollar, in honor of Franklin's contributions to the
development of our Nation's coinage and currency.
- Scientist design - recreates on its obverse a rendition of Franklin and his
legendary kite experiment. The reverse of this coin, in a tribute to
Franklin's role as a patriot and statesman, features a recreation of his
political cartoon, "Join, or Die."
- 2 coins graded PR70 - Proof-70 is the highest grade possible. Proof coins
are unlike regular U.S. coins, because they undergo a specialized minting
process, which begins by manually feeding burnished silver coin blanks into
presses fitted with special dies. The coin is struck multiple times so the
softly frosted, yet detailed images seem to float above a mirror-like field.
- 2 coins graded MS70 - in Mint State condition with the highest possible
grading of 70, this coin has outstanding eye appeal and retains its full
original luster.
- Deep Cameo on PR70 coins - deeply frosted devices and lettering that
contrast with the fields producing extra sharp details
- Limited edition commemorative coin
- Graded and certified by ICG
- Encapsulated in clear acrylic
- Wooden presentation box
- Certificate of authenticity
- Measures approx. 1.49" in diameter each
- Weighs approx. 1 oz. each
- 90% silver content each
