I already tried this from the Mint, I wanted to order a specific serial number, but no luck. I was thinking the same thing, maybe everyone could post there model number and we could all switch so everyone is happy!

I have Z16 Franklin number 390 and am looking for number 1291, too match my GM Z16.

Look at it this way, someone has to have it at home!

When I spoke with the FM last week....they keep an abundant of these(Z16's) on hand for Collector buyers....Also stated she had no way of knowing which Serial No.s remained? Thought that remark to be quite strange..Who runs their inventory? Oh well.....Will continue my mission

Thanks to all of those who have replied....Much appreciated!
