1974 US Mint American Revolution Bicentennial John Adams Sterling Silver Proof Medal
This historic United States Mint masterpiece serves as a breathtaking commemorative link to the foundation of American freedom. Originally struck in 1974 to mark the 200th anniversary of the First Continental Congress, the obverse displays a magnificent, deeply frosted profile bust of founding father John Adams, while the reverse honors the historic 1774 assembly with a striking neoclassical figure and the profound inscription, “FOR THE RECOVERY OF OUR JUST RIGHTS.” Because these official tokens were struck strictly during the height of the national bicentennial celebration, owning one means preserving a tangible piece of United States numismatic heritage that has safely traversed over half a century. Add this exceptionally preserved, highly lustrous sterling silver proof asset to your portfolio today and anchor your collection with a definitive monument to liberty.
