Your description seems to ring a bell but I am not pulling it out of the recesses of this 54 yr old mind. Can you post any pics? I will look for your intro in case I missed it. If you have not done one yet, please do and tell us about your interests in collecting. Jim Report this Post to the Staff

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 12/04/2007 7:05 pm I seem to recal that during the bicentennial a set of restrikes of the original revolutionary war medals that were authorized by congress were made. I think 12 would be the right number of pieces. I do not know if they were made by the US mint though or a private mine. Report this Post to the Staff
