Wow, a seller on eBay had a number of mint sets from the Franklin Mint halcyon days -
Highlight was the 1983 Trinidad and Tobago set at 481USD.
A Franklin Mint 1983 Costa Rica 250 Colones silver proof went for about 1100 USD!!!
I did not win any as I was not willing to go as high, but there were quite a few of the mint sets going in excess of 300 USD.
Not long ago there was another bloodbath by another seller with it being proof sets of FM on offer. I should add that there were
numerous bidders involved in these sales that were fiercely contested.
Message: Franklin Mint is kicking booty on the aftermarket if you have the scarcer bits.

I find it quite amazing that their quality of 30-40 years ago compare quite favorably to what we get now, and even better in many cases.
