The Franklin Mint is a private mint founded by Joseph Segel in 1964 in Wawa, Pennsylvania. Its product line began with manufacturing and marketing privately minted gold and silver commemorative rounds and medallions, eventually expanding to sell coins, medals, jewelry, die-cast vehicles, dolls, sculptures, and other collectibles. Many of these items were sold through magazine and television advertisements over the years, often bearing celebrity images or displaying special events or celebratory moments. The Mint opened its own porcelain factory in 1983 to create figures, plates and more to compliment its already enormous repertoire. After numerous changes in ownership in the late 1980s and 90s, it was acquired by Retail Ecommerce Ventures (REV) in July 2020.
