State of Connecticut American Revolution Bicentennial Medal

rsteele70

Hey everyone. I have a 1776-1976 State of Connecticut American Revolution Bicentennial Medal in .999 Fine Silver. I received this from my Aunt who sadly passed away and was curious as to what it might be worth. She worked in a bank as a Teller and Manager, so I'm assuming that is where it came from. As far as I can tell it is still in the original Black Cardboard packaging they came in. Any information you might be able to provide would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Yes, that is the medal I am talking about. Although my packaging seems to be in much better condition, if that makes a difference. I am trying to upload the actual photo although I'm having trouble resizing the image.

1. You're gonna have trouble adding the image by attaching it here, the file size restrictions will likely prevent you from doing so. If you go to a site like Photobucket and open an account, you can add the image remotely. Just grab the URL of the image once you have it in your photobucket account, come back here, click the image button when creating a post, and paste the URL in the popup box.

Hi Ray, and welcome to the PCGS coin forum!

The reality is that the medal probably has more sentimental value than intrinsic or numismatic value. I either sell this type of medal as odd weight 0.999 silver, or (please forgive me) we melt them.

I would hold on to it knowing that it belonged to your aunt all these years and that she gave it to you.

Thank you to all who responded to my post. That was pretty much what I figured as well. The sentimental part is definitely worth more than the value of the medal itself.
