It's Also Not Old  Attaboy! Things made in 1976 are just now gracefully transitioning from prime to vintage. Old? Pfffft. |

That must have been an epic year for parades and fireworks. Age 7 would have been the perfect age to enjoy that all. Young enough to still get stoked for fire trucks, old enough to stay up late for fireworks.

Indeed. I was living in Knoxville at the time and have fond memories of many events held that year.  |

Okay sorry, I wasn't born or even thought of in '76. Since my grandfather gave it to me I assumed it was old. #128076;#127996;#129318;#127997;#8205;#9792;#65039;

No problem! We all get old eventually. For some of us, eventually is now.  For what it is worth, I have a 1922 Peace dollar my grandfather gave me. It was the year he was born and his grandmother had given it to him. Save this Ike for your grandchildren. |

You think you're old? My father was born in 1922.

I already knew you were a lot older than me.  |

In a sense, your grandfather was right. After all, sentimental value is worth more than monetary value any day. While this bicentennial coin will never have a lofty market value, it means a lot to you and your family.

Hang onto it and spend it in June or July 2026. I'm saving them up along with the dual-dated Kennedy halves for tips during the 250th. |
