PeterLustig Posted February 16, 2012 Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 I found a bicentennial of independence medal today and was wondering if it may have any value. Let me describe it. On the front it says bicentennial of independence. Underneath there is a bell and on one side of the bell it has the number 1776 and on the other 1976. It says "Procliam Liberty Throughout all the land." Then there is a pic of a building with those pole things like at the white house. It says then "United states mint Philadelphia". At the bottom is a scroll with a feather pen. On the flip side it says at the top, "200th anniversary of united states". Then it has a whole lotta people standing around looking important and one sitting. At the bottom it says "First Coining Meeting 1776-1976" and that's all. The coin is a gold colour and I think that it may be bronze. If you know this medal can you please tell me if it is worth anything!

seabeebrian Posted March 10, 2012 Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 I know they were struck in Gold, Silver and bronze. Can someone post the pictures, mintages and values of each? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bill Posted March 10, 2012 Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 I'm not sure if anyone here actively collects the series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
