1976 Medal Bicentennial .900 Fine Gold, 13.5oz

Coin Details

Description

This 1976 Bicentennial medal in .900 fine gold weighing 13.5 ounces is an extraordinary numismatic object — a massive gold medal produced to commemorate the 200th anniversary of American independence. At 13.5 troy ounces of 90% gold, this medal contains approximately 12.15 ounces of pure gold, making it one of the largest and most valuable official Bicentennial commemoratives produced. The .900 fine gold standard matches the traditional purity of American gold coinage from the mid-nineteenth century through 1933. This medal was produced in extremely limited quantities for institutional collectors and gold investors who wanted the ultimate Bicentennial keepsake. Its substantial weight and precious metal content place it in a category far beyond ordinary commemorative medals, representing a significant investment piece with both numismatic and bullion value. The design celebrates American independence with imagery appropriate to the nation's most important anniversary.
