The Franklin Mint Collection of Antique Car Coins - Series 1

This is a comprehensive collection of 'Antique Car Coins' from The Franklin Mint, specifically 'Series 1' as indicated on the packaging. The set appears to be a 'complete 21-piece solid bronze set' of collectible tokens, each approximately the size of a coin. There are two display binders shown, both filled with these bronze tokens. Each token features an embossed image of a different antique car, and is likely numbered or bears the year of the featured vehicle. The tokens have a rich, golden or bronze color, consistent with solid bronze, and exhibit a uniform patina indicative of their metallic composition. The display binders are dark green/blue and light green, presumably cardboard or a similar rigid material, with cutouts to securely hold each coin. The collection includes original documentation: a cream-colored cardboard box/sleeve labeled 'THE FRANKLIN MINT Collection of Antique Car Coins SERIES 1' which states 'A COMPLETE 21-PIECE SOLID BRONZE SET' and mentions 'TO WIN MORE PRIZES', along with a smaller, tan-colored booklet titled 'THE FRANKLIN MINT Collection of Antique Car Coins Series I'. The overall condition appears good, with some visible wear and minor staining on the outer cardboard sleeve, suggesting it has been handled over time. The tokens themselves seem well-preserved within their display slots. The craftsmanship of the tokens appears high, typical of The Franklin Mint, known for producing detailed commemorative and collectible items. This set likely dates from the mid to late 20th century, a common period for Franklin Mint collectible issues.
