By Jon R. Warren

The Franklin Mint issued many coins for sovereign nations, and of those, a significant number were made of platinum rather than gold or silver. The Franklin Mint also produced several so-called 'mini' coins made from platinum. And, in a few instances, Franklin Mint made several commemorative medals sets made of platinum. iGuide's research has determined that the purity level of these platinum medals is about 90% pure. These platinum coins are valued like other platinum bullion coins, they are worth a percentage of the metals or scrap value. They do not have 'rarity' or 'collector' or 'numismatic' value.
