Ford Jr. and the "Franklin Hoard" Fascinating Collection Story 919 Pages Click Thumbnails to Enlarge Product description Over 20 years of research went into piecing together the real story of how John Ford marketed numerous Pioneer and Territorial pieces that were reportedly "discovered" by Paul Franklin in the 1950s. Other "Franklin Hoard" items that have been marketed in the past 60 years are examined in detail in an attempt to validate authenticity from the 19th century, as has been claimed.John Ford was intelligent and ambitious. He told many stories, and the people loved them. Trouble is, there were different versions of the same story told at different times. Was he a counterfeiter? No. Was he duped by Paul Franklin? No. Was he an honest authenticator? No.Previous commendable attempts to uncover the reality of Ford's numismatic activities have been only partly successful and correct. There were never any source materials available to help validate what was done regarding the "Franklin Hoard". Now there are. This work includes copies of nearly 200 personal letters from Ford during the 1950s when the first group of "Franklin Hoard" material was being sold. Additional "Franklin Hoard" developments are chronicled through 2008.Other bits and pieces from numerous, little known sources were compiled from public records to present this "reality research" about Ford from when he first became interested in numismatics as a teen-ager in the 1930s until his death in 2005. John J. Ford, Jr., was the most controversial figure ever to appear in American numismatics. His collection, when sold by Stack's, realized over $55 million. This unbiased account explains in detail that which you never knew about Ford. It is truly a fascinating story!Until now, the "Franklin Hoard" story always stopped with Paul Gerow Franklin. Until now, the all important identification of Franklin's sources has never been presented. Until now, the material that makes up the "Franklin Hoard" (1952-1981) has never been defined and/or listed as such. This book is not for everyone; but, if you ever wanted to know more about John J. Ford, Jr. or the "Franklin Hoard", this book is the one you should have.
