I recreated the dual counterstamp on a uniface sand dala (2M-199) with an overlay of a 2MB-189 obverse and an overlay 2MB-154 obverse.  All three coins are in my collection.

Below is the breakdown of the 34 known Hawaii related Franklin Mint ingots sorted by rarity.

The rows identified with “unlisted” indicates it’s unlisted in the 1991 Medcalf & Russell book.

Now you need the book that fully catalogs  the Franklin Mint issues (release date is still TBD).

Knowledge is power. Especially in numismatics. There are a total of 80 Hawaii related Franklin Mint Rounds (based on my upcoming re-release of my book).

Below is a breakdown of the 40 rarest Franklin Mint Rounds.  The rows identified with “unlisted” indicates it’s unlisted in the 1991 Medcalf & Russell book. And yes there are 26 of the 40 not listed in the Medcalf & Russel book. If you don’t have the full Hawaiian numismatic picture, you are collecting at a disadvantage and missing collecting  opportunities.

The original version of the book was titled, The Hawaiiana Numismatist’s Catalog of Franklin Mint Issues Relating to Hawaii and was published in March of 2014. Since then I decided to provide a more descriptive title, Hawaiiana Numismatic Issues of The Franklin Mint: Medals, Coins, and Ingots.

The Franklin Mint issues have been previously integrated into Hawaiiana numismatics. There are a total of 37 medals and 12 ingots cataloged in the book Hawaiian Money Standard Catalog “Second Edition”, 1991, by Medcalf & Russell (MR91).

In performing the research for this book, I uncovered a total of 80 Franklin Mint medals relating to Hawaii. These additional 43 medals are not generally known by the Hawaiian specialist/collector, are often overlooked and not collected. I’ve also uncovered a total of 34 Franklin Mint ingots relating to Hawaii. These additional 22 ingots are also not generally known by the Hawaiian specialist/collector, are also overlooked, and not collected.

This book fills the knowledge gap about the previously undocumented Franklin Mint issues relating to Hawaii by cataloging these issues.  This book also provides additional information helpful to the Hawaiian specialist/collector, such as images, mintages, cross references with MR91, and identification of the Franklin Mint’s source set of the medal or ingot of interest.

Book is under review. Release date is TBD.

Finally catching up with the updates from Don Duncan and incorporating changes in the 2014 edition (2015 update planned for: The Hawaiiana Numismatist’s Catalog of Franklin Mint Issues Relating to Hawaii). Thank you Don for your contributions. Below is a new medal identification thanks to Don.
