Collectibles -> Decorative Collectibles -> Franklin Mint

One of the most popular brands of collectibles are Franklin Mint Collectibles. This company is well known throughout the world for providing collectible editions at reasonable prices and they even offer payment plans for their more expensive items. This has allowed thousands, if not millions of people the ability to start their own private collections. No matter what you are interested in collecting, chances are there are Franklin Mint Collectibles that are perfect for you.

Here are just a few of the different types of Franklin Mint Collectibles that are currently available.

Coins

This is actually where the Franklin Mint Collectibles company got their start and they have produced many different collectible coins throughout the years. Most are in gold or silver, but there are a few commemorative coins made out of cheaper materials. For those looking for a higher end collectible from the mint, these are a good choice. Thanks to their payment plan, you can usually end up with a very valuable collection of coins.

Plates

These are probably the most common Franklin Mint Collectibles and hundreds of designs are available. They have plates for events, movies, television characters, singers and pretty much every other topic under the sun. While these may not be incredibly valuable, they are great decorative collectibles and they are fun to amass. For those on a budget, these plates offer a great way to decorate your home.

Figurines

The Franklin Mint Collectibles company also produces collectible figurines. Many of these are designed by the mint and are exclusive to their company, while others are licensed through other venues. These are a little more valuable and more expensive than the plates, but they are still considered to be priced at entry levels. The larger figurines are typically more expensive, but they will also usually be more valuable later on as well.

Books

Although these ended production in 2000, they are still quite popular. The Franklin Mint Collectibles company produced many different collectible books between 1973 and 2000 and offered collectors the rare chance to get some great literature. Although they are no longer made, you can still find these volumes at flea markets, auctions, online auctions and even through local garage sales. For those that love books, this is a natural collectible and there are some great titles that they released that can’t be found anywhere else.

Assorted Collectibles

The Franklin Mint Collectibles company produces numerous types of decorative collectibles, including pocket knives, chess sets and board games, Monopoly special editions, steins, and other common collectibles. Many of these feature pop culture icons and a few are actually quite valuable. These are still in production today and account for a large portion of the company’s business.

No matter what you like to collect, there’s a big chance that the Franklin Mint Collectibles company produces it. While these may not have the same dollar value as vintage collectibles right now, many will continue to grow in value as the years go by.
