<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bugo, post: 2187984, member: 53226&quot;]The featured article on Wikipedia is United States Bicentennial coinage. The article states that there were 12 prototypes released to the public in 1974 including two coins featuring sailing ships, two featuring Independence Hall, three were space related, and one featuring the Liberty Bell superimposed on an atomic symbol. It also states that a few prototype sets were given to Gerald Ford and some other high ranking government officials. These coins were silver (it doesn&#039;t say if they were 40% or 90%) and lacked a mint mark. The rest of the prototypes were reportedly melted, which is a tragedy. My questions are are there any pictures of the 12 prototypes and are the Ford set and the other sets that were given to the government officials known to the numismatic community to still exist? </p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Bicentennial_coinage" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Bicentennial_coinage" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Bicentennial_coinage</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
