he is advancing in years and lost his interest in the collection

sincerely bcp

    Try ebay, but don't expect to get much for them.

    If you put the sets on ebay, make sure to point out the precious metal content and weight. That will be a big factor in determining what people will pay.

    New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.

    thank you, can you tell me are the weights always on the side of the coins, or is there a web site where i can look the weights up?

    thank you for your response and i also appreciate the new collectors caveat, your nickname is a misnomer

    thank you, i already sold one set on ebay, the shipping in total was ten percent of the price, but over-all i felt it was a fair deal.

    thanks for the response

    Your dad didn't happen to have the print from The Fanklin Mint called "The Collector" did he?

    Get up with Mr. Eureka, a member here. He is a strong buyer of Franklin Mint material.
