I have a large bronze coin set from 1976 and it is the Franklin Mint History of the United States. There is a coin for every year starting at 1776 all the way to 1976. Any information would be appreciated such as rarity, value, and demand.
Thanks

Created collectible made to capitalize on the Bicentennial celebration. Don’t know the issue size— might find somewhere on your set.
Most of this type of “Collectible” tend to bring a fraction of issue costs on the secondary market.
A search of eBay show several sets available at about $350 (unsold), so value would appear to be less.

i love you Scott , but it aint that simple, actually it is rather complicated, even the box mod makes a lot of difference etc
wrong comparison but example of the spread and the bullionUSA - 1980 cabinet of 200 Silver Proof Franklin Mint "History of the United States" Medallions with certificates - Silver

NO. 20154013 catawiki , IMO estimate IMO over the top because there is an equiations for this , but it is far to complicated for me
was a catawiki example example NO. 20154013,
The Proof-like finish is very close to Proof quality, but produced at greater speed with minor surface imperfections being acceptable; still equal to to many specimens normally considered "Proof" by collectors. Solid Franklin Bronze is the Franklin Mint's premium-quality wrought bronze alloy, with higher than usual nickel content and a distinctive rose-gold color. The alloy was originally called "Franklin Nickel-Bronze."this is also an critirium
Beg to differ-- it is fairly simple when it comes to created collectibles.
Not sure I understand where you are going with the comparison... of course a set with solid silver would be a different story.

This is a good roll up/ concurring assessment on Franklin Mint:
"Franklin Mint collectibles are marketed as valuable items one can purchase as an investment in order to see the item's value appreciate over time. However, unfortunately for many owners of Franklin Mint dolls, collectible plates, glassware, diecast cars, silver ingots, coins, or medals, there is little chance of selling these mass-produced collectibles for more than what you originally paid for them."

the market value is determined over a reasonably short latency period compared to the fixation date, and actually the latency is almost 3 years later and probably the fixation date of the numbers is even way earlier , and most of the time you get a flooding effect, what in the end will evaporate
well next time i stay out of coines , because i only get enemies here, and most of the time i got no answers at all, and actually quite often i got a lot of work in it

Not sure why this had to turn into “I only get enemies here” comment.
A difference of opinion, sure; but I am certainly not an “enemy “. I stayed on topic and just presented a differing viewpoint.

well you are not the enemy , but i can,t sometimes discusse all the stuff , sometimes i am searching for houres or days and i just asked a very basic question to someone , and the delete everything because i they do,nt like the question
remember 112 responese of Sandra and me and others on porcelain and everything was diskwalified Sothesby,s Rakutten Bonhams you name it
Scott i have to liquidate a rather elaborate stock , I got an Ummah ,to run , and Ukraiunians and a grandchild on SMA , + assessments on request
you are not the enemy , just the ones who bail out on questions or delete , because the questions don,t suits them apparantly,
Ok— understand and thanks.
