Franklin Mint 48 pc. Bicentennial Council 2 oz. Sterling Silver Ingots

(The entire series featured 70 ingots). These ingots, which total 96 ounces of sterling silver, are individually wrapped, in their own sleeve, inside an envelope postmarked from the corresponding historical event and displayed in the binder provided by the Franklin Mint. The ingots have been well protected and the album shows minor wear and stains from frequent enjoyment from the original owner. I'm sure this was proudly displayed on a bookshelf. Unlike the other Franklin Mint products where the bronze, pewter and porcelain have a nominal resale value, this collection of 6 pounds sterling silver will never go out of style. #1 Issued December 16, 1973 -Boston, Massachusetts.
