The Franklin Mint offered a set of 24k gold plated coins for collectors. Some desperate person or some child may have opened theirs spending it rather than keeping it.

It's all about that moment when metal that hasn't seen the light of day for generations frees itself from the soil and presents itself to me.

I don't think so.  It was worth more than a dollar to the Franklin Mint because they sold them at a premium price.  Good to see you back Frazdad!      Detecting

When the Franklin Mint sells anything like that, they promote it as highly collectible and they put it into a fancy folder. I suppose it depends on how many of them were sold and how many were scrapped. I once bought an auction box of miscellaneous stuff and inside were 200 issues of a sold gold, 24k, replica of a stamp from the Franklin Mint. All told, there was 200 grams of gold. Not a bad return on a $20.00 auction bid. No, not eBay. A face to face auction. I won 5 boxes in total of what people thought was junk and each of them had some sort of treasure or other. A few rare books, some old clothing from the 1800s, stuff like that. The best was the gold.

Now that I mention it, 6oz of gold might be good to sell right about now. Pardon me while I go and find that box.
