<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 8195385, member: 101855&quot;][USER=25416]@dwhiz[/USER], The “America’s First Medals” set was the best of these Bicentennial pieces in my opinion. The booklet that came with it is especially nice. The last I heard, the sets sell sell for about $30 to $35 in nice condition, which is still below the issue price.</p><p><br /></p><p>For those who are unfamiliar with the background of these pieces, they are miniaturized versions of the military medals that the Continental Congress awarded to heroes of the American Revolutionary War. All of the original pieces were larger. The pieces given to the heroes were struck in gold or silver.</p><p><br /></p><p>Modern collectors strive to collect examples in bronze. We also try to find pieces that were struck from the original dies, but that is often very hard or impossible[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
