1974 USA The First Continental Congress Sterling Silver Medallion (Scratched Capsule)

1974 USA Bicentennial Sterling Silver Medallion Commemorating the First Continental Congress

The celebration of America's Bicentennial began in earnest in 1974. Two hundred years before, in 1774, delegates from throughout the American colonies met in Philadelphia and convened the first Continental Congress. Their meeting led to the creation of the Declaration of Independence two years later. The U. S. Mint issued this commemorative medal recognizing the importance of the first Continental Congress. Please note this medal is .925 Sterling Silver and is missing the CoA, while the capsule it comes in shows some scratches.
