Liberty Bell Medallion Appraisal

Liberty Bell Replica Token/Medallion

This item is a circular, metallic token or medallion, likely made of a brass or bronze alloy due to its golden-brown coloration and the visible patina. It measures approximately the size of a large coin. The obverse side (as shown) features a prominent central image of an American bald eagle with outstretched wings, perched on what appears to be a representation of the Liberty Bell, complete with its iconic crack. Behind the eagle are two American flags, partially obscured by the eagle's wings. The flags appear to be stylized with vertical stripes and possibly stars, though these details are not perfectly clear due to the age and wear. Encircling the central design, along the rim, are the words "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" at the top, and "FREEDOM WILL ENDURE" at the bottom. There's a small inscription "1776-1976" below the eagle, suggesting a bicentennial commemorative piece. The surface shows some signs of wear, particularly around the raised lettering and central eagle, indicating circulation or handling. There are some darker discolored areas, consistent with age and oxidation. The craftsmanship appears to be of standard quality for commemorative tokens of its era, with legible text and recognizable imagery, suggesting it was machine-struck. Its estimated age is 1976, given the bicentennial inscription. There are no discernible maker's marks or signatures visible from this image. The edge appears plain, without reeding or specific milling.
