I Got a coin that celebrates the 100th anniversary of American Independence on it. Its in very good condition and has a purple tint to it. On the front it says "These united colonies are, and of right ought to be, free and independent states." On the back around the edge it says "By authority of the colonies of the United States." And in the middle of the back it says "In commemoration of the hundredth anniversary of American Independence." Any idea what it is worth? sorry such bad pictures
the pictures are there, but quite small. I'm not an expert on this, but it looks like it was made my some private company, and isn't worth a heck of a whole lot (maybe). Do you know the size and weight of it?
First of all, it isn't a coin. It is a medal. Unfortunately, your photos are too small and blurry. I clicked on them to enlarge, but all it did was bring another photo the same size. Chris
Your medal appears to be a So-Called Dollar (SCD) HK-20, but I would need clearer and larger photos to be sure. It is considered rare, and if you have the original presentation case, it could be worth about $100. Chris
Compare it to the pictures here and let us know if it matches? This medal was struck in several medal compositions: http://www.so-calleddollars.com/Events/US_Centennial.html
Yes the coin is the one on that website same purple tint and design. Sorry my pictures are not working but I think its the HK-22 but I do not know the difference between gilt, sliver, and white metal. Plus it does not have the original case
Ok, Its the HK-20 1876 Centennial silver medal "So Called Dollar" Thanks Guys! I found it for around $400 is that a correct price?
It depends on the condition of your piece (which we can't tell from your tiny pictures). That particular medal is fairly low mintage, but the "So Called Dollars" have a particular collector base. Personally, $400 sounds on the high side unless your particular medal is in absolute pristine condition.
