<b>Colonial Currency</b><hr><b>1976 Bicentennial 'Franklin Mint' 13 Colony Set in Silver</b>

<b>(1976), Complete 13 Colony Set of Colonial Currency in Sterling Silver, Franklin Mint Issue, in itÕs original custom wooden presentation case, Superb Gem Mint State.</b>
This historic complete currency set was issued in celebration of AmericaÕs Bicentennial and issued by the Franklin Mint in 1976. Modeled after actual existing notes and engraved in exceptionally qualified detail, this set includes a 1734 large size New Hampshire issue, among other various colonial emissions from the colonies of the period. Each note is placed in a felt lined display case with a plastic covering to protect the surface of each note, giving it a Proof type appearance. The professional wooden display case has a plexiglass face on the cover, so as to most appropriately display the notes residing below. These sets have become nearly impossible to locate over the past two decades and we are very pleased to be able to offer one in such pristine original condition more than two decades after its original issue. The last time we offered one of these lovely sets was way back in 1997.
