ITEM: NORMAN ROCKWELL'S SPIRIT OF SCOUTING. ISSUED IN 1972 BY THE FRANKLIN MINT, THIS 12 MEDAL SET COMMEMORATES THE BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA.

EACH MEDAL IS MADE OF SOLID STERLING SILVER AND IS IN PROOF CONDITION, 39mm IN DIAMETER AND STORED IN A HARD PLASTIC COIN HOLDER (ONE OF THE MEDALS IS MISSING IT'S FRONT HALF OF THE PLASTIC COVER). INCLUDES IT'S ORIGINAL FRAMED DISPLAY AND STORAGE BOX FOR THE DISPLAY. THE FRAME MEASURES ABOUT 13.5 INCHES BY 10.5 INCHES.

WE WEIGHED ONE OF THE MEDALS AND IT WEIGHS 25.5 GRAMS. BOOK WEIGHT ON THIS SET IS 9.5 TROY OUNCES, I THINK THE ACTUAL WEIGHT IS SLIGHTLY HIGHER AT ABOUT 9.8 TROY OUNCES.
