Description
1976 National Bicentennial Medal
Swoger-52IAa, MS65
Struck in .900 Fine Gold
Number 396 of Only 424 Struck
1976 Medal National Bicentennial Gold Medal, Large Diameter,
MS65 NGC. Swoger-52IAa. 76 mm. 462.6 grams, .900 Fine. Serial
#396 on edge. The Mint's ultimate tribute to the National
Bicentennial was this visually impressive medal designed by Chief
Engraver Frank Gasparro. This is the largest gold medal ever
produced by the U.S. Mint. It measures 76 mm in diameter and weighs
approximately 15 troy ounces of .900 fine gold. Celebrating LIFE,
LIBERTY, AND THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS, the medal is struck in
incredibly high relief seen on Gasparro's stylized Statue of
Liberty motif design, flanked by the dual dates 1776 and 1976.
Edgar Z. Steever designed the reverse, modeled after the U.S. Great
Seal. Each medal is numbered on the edge (this medal is number
396), with a reported distribution of 424 medals in all, although
an unknown number of those produced were likely melted in the
1980s. This is a Gem Uncirculated example, safely enclosed in an
oversized NGC holder with the edge number easily visible.Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# C2B4, PCGS# 523312)
