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.
All US bicentennial coinage has the dual date 1776-1976 not 1973, none of the bicentennial half dollar coins made for general circulation contain any silver or are worth more than face value. Only Proof and collectors coins sold from the US Mint are worth more.
You mean 1976. It was only made in one year and that was it. You can find 1776 - 1976 in quarters, halves, and dollars. By the way. Unless you have an uncirculated or proof, it's only worth face value. Between 1972 and 1976 the mint produced commemorative medals. Starting with Washington in 1972. I am not sure of the price or the metal content.
Since it is a one ounce token, you should be able to sell it to a dealer for about $1 under spot (spot = the current value of silver). If it is in brilliant Uncirculated or Proof then you may be able to sell it as a collectible. Rick CCNV2010 on Ebay
if the coin has sam adams and john henry on it, its a little more than 1 tr.oz. sterling silver. it should say sterling on the case. sell price would be spot x .925. spot is 32.36 at this moment and would be $29.93. the buy price would be around $26.94.ultimately it's worth what some one would give you for it but that's just the cynic in me.
If this is the gold medal with the heraldic eagle on one side and the statue of liberty on the other, both heavily frosted, then is it the same as this one:Solid Gold Proof Medal... Flashy Mirrored Fields With Cameo Features...Obverse : Statue Of Liberty... Reverse : Great Seal of the United States...Comes in all Original Mint Packaging Including Cherrywood Presentation Case -Outer Box - Certificate Of Authenticity... 12.9 grams (0.42oz) of .900 Fine Gold...23mm diameter...

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.

1972 wasn't the bicentennial, but 1976. Either way, 1970s large dollars are still worth one dollar.
There's nothing called a "commerative" coin. There are COMMEMORATIVE coins, but an coin from 1985 is unlikely to commemorate any major bicentennial. Special coins were minted in 1976 for the 200th anniversary of independence, and others were minted in 1989 for the 200th anniversary of the Constitution.
The American Eagle Bicentennial quarter with the double eagle isn't overly valuable. In good condition, they can sell as high as $50 but no higher.
