They have a nice reverse as well...

And a close up of the eagle shield...

I have few exonumia pursuits, but 1876 Centennial stuff is one of them -- I love that stuff!

Where ever do you find this stuff?

Pretty! 76.3mm, over 9mm from rim to rim, weighing 9.9oz, bronze over a copper core.

3000 were produced by the Mint, and they contracted for another 9000 from a local medallist, Peter Krider. It was designed by Henry Mitchell and William Barber created the working dies.
