>proof set Edition
How fitting, i just won an auction on ebay. Look at this baby :
73x 24K gold plated .925 silver stamps from the 1979's limited edition to celebrate the international postmasters' congress, issued by the Franklin Mint for the International Society of Postmasters. Back when the funkopops of the days for the silent generation were stamps.
Only 1000 examplars were minted.

I did some diggin', and back in 1979, this set was sold with a $2500 pricetag! I used the US inflation calculator, and it would be north of $10K USD nowaday. I thought "kinda a scam back then, considering spot was so low..." but then i remembered the Hunt brothers' silver squeeze happened in 1979 lol! Still a scam desu, but it can explain a little better the pricetag i guess.
