HISTORY OF MILES FRANKLIN

Miles Franklin is anything but an ordinary gold and silver coin company. Our approach provides a creative strategy for diversifying one’s assets with precious metals. This strategy has been yielding positive results for clients nationwide since 1989.
Miles Franklin was founded by David and Andrew Schectman. Our vision was to offer a wide variety of bullion and numismatic products, extensive broker expertise, and fair pricing.
Unlike traditional coin dealers, Miles Franklin is both a full service company and a low overhead discount broker. We believe that fair pricing plus extensive client education and support can and should exist hand-in-hand.

OUR STORIES

“Andy Schectman and the staff at Miles Franklin have become more to me than a source to buy precious metal – they are friends I can trust. I get competitive prices in transactions that are totally safe, which is not something you can take for granted in this industry. I get advice and counseling on a regular basis to help me learn strategies that will get me to my goals. This is a relationship I truly value and I’m looking forward to working with Miles Franklin for years to come.” -JE

“Through a mutual friend, I was referred to Andy Schectman at Miles Franklin. After my first dealings with Andy and his team, I had an immediate sense of trust and friendship. When you are wiring money, there is no better feeling than knowing you are speaking to Andy on the other end of the phone. In what has been over 20 transactions, they have not missed a deadline, an order, or following through on any commitments made. I have sent my family and friends to Miles Franklin and I would encourage you to do the same as your trust will not be misplaced.” -BI

“Trust and respect are two things I rely on when I interact on a personal level or business level. Miles Franklin provides both. My financial goals require acute decision making and Miles Franklin contributes facts, insights and good judgment. I live a continent away yet I’m only a phone call from trusted client service.” -JGM

“I bought my first bullion coin in 1974 and have dealt with many dealers from the US, Canada and Europe. My most satisfying experience has been with Miles Franklin, in terms of informative discussion, objective response to frank questions, fair and honest pricing, and delivery as promised.
I shall not be buying anywhere else.” -MLB
