The National Bicentennial Medal came in different sizes in .900 fine gold. I have the smaller size that is 23mm in diameter and contains 0.378 oz of pure gold. When gold costs over $1,500 per oz., the gold melt value of this medal is about $560. The medal also came in silver, gold-plated bronze, and bronze editions. Original prices from the mint ran from $5 for the smaller bronze medal to $4,000 for the 3-inch .900 fine gold version. Some recent prices: 33.6 mm diameter gold proof (40.5 grams .900 gold), $1,495. 23 mm diameter gold proof (12.9 grams .900 gold), $479 and $495.41 3 inch diameter silver (8.1 oz sterling silver), $449 and $439 Gold-plated bronze, $39 Bronze, $8

So, everyone seems to be missing the point of this coin. It is a bicentennial comemorative coin of the American Revolution, not Independence Day. In March of 1773, a secret meeting of the Virginia House of Burgesses established a Commitee of Correspondence, whose membership included Sam Adams, Patrick henry, Thomas Jefferson and Richard Henry Lee. They were charged with informing the populace at large of British actions against American liberties and to mobilze resistance against these incursions. By early 1774, all but 2 of the colonies had joined the movement.

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.
