I have this coin as well and have been offered $450 for it from a coin buyer in Kingston, Ontario. Have not sold it. I believe it to be worth more! Although my coin makes no mention of the US Mint - rather it is the American Cin Company Inc from Studio City, Ca.
The U.S. Mint has never issued an American Revolution Bicentennial coin of any date.
Dual dated 1776-1976 Eisenhower dollars, Kennedy half dollars and Washington quarters with special bicentennial reverses were issued in 1975 & 1976 for the 1976 bicentennial, but not in 1972. Post a new question with the denomination of the coin.
So many different types were produced much more information is needed. Is it gold? Who made it? Post new question.
Bruce Jenner won gold at the 1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal in the decathlon.
Crawford won the 100m in Montreal in 1976.
8-2-11>>> The Bicentennial was in 1976 not 1972, if the piece is gold (or plated) and dated 1972 it is NOT a US Mint product. The Mint did not strike any modern gold coins until 1984.
100$
The U.S. Mint was not producing gold coins in 1976.
i have a coin made for Button Gwinnett who sign the declaration of independence for GA in 1776 , on the edge it says [ official medal of the bicentennial council of the thirteen original states ] how much is it worth ? ken
This piece may be a Bicentennial medal made by the American Coin Company. It would be about the size of a penny and struck in .500 gold (10k) with a weight of 2.4 grams. It is NOT a U.S. Mint product. Take it to a jeweler, it's probably worth a few dollars.
Gold plated, but not gold. Loads of private companies took ordinary Bicentennial coins, plated them with gold or silver, and sold them as "collectibles". But once the Bicentennial was over, the market tanked so they have essentially no value except as curiosities. It would actually cost more to recover the gold plating than you would get from selling it.

The U.S. never struck any gold coins for the Bicentennial. Many Bicentennial dollars, halves and quarters were privately gold plated and sold as "Collectible" coins. The coins have no numismatic value. The coin is face value, unless you find someone that wants it.

In 1976, amidst the bicentennial celebration of the United States, the historian's office was created at the cemetery, and all headstones of Medal of Honor recipients had lettering highlighted with gold leafing.

It's probably not solid gold, but rather a gold-plated bicentennial dollar. Similar coins typically sell for around $8 or so on eBay.
He only won one medal in the Olympics and it was the gold medal
