Most people familiar with history think of Benjamin Franklin as a printer in his early life. He became an international statesman and diplomat later and played a crucial role in American independence. Patrick McBride plays the role of Franklin at the Pennsylvania Association of Numismatists Convention and tells the fantastic story of his life with emphasis on his role in numismatics.

David adds:

"Patrick McBride has become an icon of numismatic spirit for his decisive and startling rendering of Benjamin Franklin. His character brings a sincerity to the role reminiscent of Dennis Boggs' portrayal of Abraham Lincoln. If you want to learn the story of Ben and feel like you are actually in his presence you will enjoy this video."
