Question
I am wondering if you know anything about The Franklin Mint's "Postmasters of America" stamp/coin collection.  I wanted to know if it is worth anything or how I could find out more information about this collection.  Each stamp is on an envelope and is accompanied by a matching coin.  Please help me if you can.

Sincerely,

Teddibee2@aol.com

Answer
Hello Teresa,
The set is only worth the metal content of the medals.  They are not coins produced by the US Mint.  Simply add up the number of medals and multiply by their weight to get total ounces, then multiply by the current spot price of the metal.

Regards,
