An impressive original Kennedy Mint Bicentennial Collection, produced in the United States in 1975 to commemorate the approaching 200th anniversary of American Independence.

Presented in its original large timber-effect display frame, the collection traces the development of American coinage from the colonial period through to the 20th century.

The display combines authentic 20th-century United States coins and currency with specially produced replicas of important earlier American coins and tokens, creating a fascinating visual history of American money.

Among the genuine later pieces are examples of the Eisenhower Dollar, Kennedy Half Dollar, Mercury Dime, Indian Head Cent, Lincoln Cent, Liberty Nickel and Buffalo Nickel, together with a 1957-B US One Dollar Silver Certificate.

The earlier pieces include replicas representing such historically important issues as the 1776 Continental Dollar, Pine Tree coinage, colonial cents, territorial gold pieces and Gold Rush-era issues.

The original display is marked:
