The Franklin Mint produced 1,377,324 'Presidential Hall of Fame' sets in bronze but not all of them were for the Mr. President Coin Game promotion. They were also given as a prize in Shell’s 1968 ‘Famous Facts & Faces’ coin game (which ran concurrently with the Mr. President Coin Game) and they were also sold separately by The Franklin Mint.
