925 RARE FRANKLIN MINT # PROOF MASONIC COIN, WILL ROGERS + GOLD. 925 STERLING Silver RARE MASONIC Art COIN. This round is a rare original in new condition. This is the coin you will receive, It is really beautiful in its detail. Besides being a great collectors item, pure Silver is up in the last 10 years and art bars are bringing a premium over the spot price of silver from investors and collectors.

This is a fun way to invest in silver and have a beautiful coin to boot. Great gift or add to a collection. This medal was minted by the authority of the International Fraternal Commemorative Society, founded in 1966 by a group of Midwestern Masons. It was struck by the prestigious Franklin Mint in 1967 in a minuscule mintage of just 1,293 pieces.

Many of these pieces, like many other coins and medals minted in this era, experienced severe withdrawal from the collector market into the melting pots during the "great silver melts" of the late 1970s and 1980s (caused primarily by the run-up of silver prices by the Hunt brothers). It is 39 mm in diameter and made of solid sterling silver -- larger than an old US silver dollar! It is a Proof, Plus no one know's how many are left with all this melting, I was told It is probably less than 500 to 600 left. The medal's low mintage, the effects of the silver melts and the popularity of the subject matter makes this one extremely collectable and an interesting addition to any Freemasonry collection. Coin weighs 27.6 grams on solid sterling silver proof.
