Bicentennial Day Commemorative Piece

Like I said, the LCS has been pretty grim lately, so I've been going a bit outside of my normal buying habits out of necessity. I wouldn't normally have given this piece a 2nd look, but since it was literally the only piece of silver they were selling at generic price, I picked it up.

Now that I own it, though, I kind of like it. It's Sterling, and stamped such on the side (I couldn't get a clear picture of the mark), and was put out by the Franklin Mint in 1976.

Side 1 features a pretty standard Declaration of Independence signing scene, with the 1776 date on it.

But in my opinion the really cool thing is on the other side. It recreates a similar scene, but using politicians of the day in 1976. I think I can pick out President Gerald Ford, but I'm not sure about the others. Probably his VP and cabinet.

It looks like it originally came with a folio and COA, but those are long gone.
