Honestly I'm not sure but I don't think so. Mainly because there is no value printed on the coin and any coin I've seen minted by the US mint has a face value on it. Also I don't see "In God We Trust" or "E Pluribus Unum" on it either.

 

Well sure, it's not a US Mint issue. But the OP asked if it was US-minted. And I would imagine that it is minted in the US. By who, I do not know. Franklin Mint maybe?

 

I believe it is a medal minted by the Working Man's Rare Coins

 

thats what i thought, but while looking for it on ebay this popped up. http://www.ebay.com/itm/1976-Thomas...990?pt=Coins_US_Individual&hash=item4169010dc he said they made them in '74. i didnt buy it, mom-in-law gave it to me yesterday, so im not out money on it or anything. at least it's 90%.

 

that says us mint made as well. http://www.workingmancoins.com/ForSale/BicMed.htm

 

It is in fact one of four or five different issues minted by the US Mint in Philly for the bicentennial. Here's what the original packaging looks like.

 

I'm not sure why, but it's certainly privately minted. Notice the lack of a denomination.

 

thanks.

 

its a medal. that explains no denomination, i guess.

 

Oh, my bad, d.t.menace, didn't see that

 

Yep

 

Here's another one, in bronze.
I think all of these were done in bronze, silver and gold.

 

In original U.S. Mint packaging.

 

i had two of the golds. i didnt put the connection together. my second thread on this site i posted a pic of the slver medals still in ogp that i sold shortly afterwards. my mom-in-law must have gotten it before my wifes uncle died.
