American Revolution Bicentenial medal (OT?)- pict added

Heywood

Does anyone know about the American Revolution bicentenial medals?
I bought a box of mixed commems, and there were a buch of these in there.
They look like US Mint issues, Bronze medals, slightly smaller than Silver Dollar size, encapsulated in a box similar to the early 70 proof sets. They cary a P mint mark.
Also I have some silver looking metals in a nicer fake leather/velvet lined box.

I have many duplicates that some others are interested in, I don't want to rip them off, or short myself.
Thanks

They are all quite common though there is a variety on the SOL one that is
at least scarce. There are silver examples issued in a box which are, if mem-
ory serves, a little more than 18 pennyweight of sterling silver (~.9 OZt X .925)

There are other governmint issue medals for the bicentennial including repro-
ductions of early medals and gold medals. There are thousands of privately
issued tokens and medals. A set of bicentennial issues would be massive.

They are quite common. I have 7 of the Sons of Liberty ones which I received in a recent collection buy-out, they're interesting, but not really worth much of anything.

I've had massive quantities of these in the past. Litterally hundreds and hundreds of them. There are only a few silver ones, they were in plastic capsules. There are a bunch of bronze ones and a bunch of pewter ones. I have always been happy to get a dollar or two for them, quite frankly.....Sometimes, people will pass on a box of them for years and years......
Don't mean to pooh-pooh your material. That's all they've ever been to me......

There is a Statue of Liberty medal which is affiliated with this program in
some way that has a variety.

These sell for $1.25 each wholesale on the rare occasion that you can find
a wholesale buyer. The silver issues are less frequently seen but by medal
standards are also extremely common and generally sell for spot.
