Independence Centennial Medal, 1876

gregmo32

Hey everyone,

I am a longtime user on the trading card section of the boards and was hoping someone could give me some information on an Independence Centennial Medal, 1876.

Anyone familiar with this item? Any help would be greatly appreciated...

I think you may need to post an image here to get any meaningful response.

Yes, a picture would help. There are a number of medals from the Centennial. Also if you can provide the diameter.

David, it's amazing what you can do with some sparypaint!!!

I saw one of those in a dealer's case at the Phoenix ANA show (Don Willis @ Premium Numismatics). He had it identified as CM-11. It was huge (57mm and 76g), beautiful, and in its original velvet presentation box. There are supposedly only a handful left, as the unsold ones were melted.

This is the kind of help I was looking for. The pictures help a lot, though I guess the gold one was Paintshopped?

I saw that one of these sold at auction recently. How do they determine the number that are "known" versus how many were produced?

tmot99

No, the gold one is a rare gold one and looks like that. David (Regulated) likes to show off like that.

Known vs produced
It all depends on who you ask. Many people will give the number produced as the "known" number. However, it is possible that somewhere along the way, some were destroyed and therefore, the number existing is different than the number produced. Many times, the "known" number given out is a guess.

I have a quick question for those who have studied the Centenial issues of the United States Mint.

Were there any smaller size, 27 mm diameter medals made during 1876?

If so, did they have a plain edge or a reeded edge?

This would be a bit larger than the present day quarters.

Thank you for any help.

Love the gold one! Thanks for posting it, Regulated! I like the silver ones too! I had a silver one two years ago, but unfortunately I sold it before I knew how scarce and valuable it was.
