About 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.

“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.”
