A Piece of History Unboxed: Axiom Connected LLC Brings a Rare 1976 Proof Set to Collectors

O’FALLON, MO – October 26, 2023 – Axiom Connected LLC, a rapidly growing numismatic (coin collecting) firm based in O’Fallon, Missouri, is thrilled to announce the availability of a remarkably well-preserved 1976 Bicentennial Proof Set. This isn’t just a collection of coins; it’s a tangible piece of American history, commemorating the nation’s 200th birthday, and Axiom Connected is making it accessible to collectors of all levels. You might be asking, “What’s the big deal about a 1976 proof set?” Well, 1976 was a special year. America celebrated its bicentennial with parades, fireworks, and a completely redesigned coin set. The US Mint went all out, redesigning the reverse (tails) side of the quarter, half dollar, and dollar coin to feature unique designs celebrating historical events and ideals. “We’re really excited about this set,” says a representative from Axiom Connected LLC. “It's not every day you find a set in this condition. The details are crisp, the luster is amazing, and it really captures the spirit of that time.” What is a Proof Set, Anyway? For those new to coin collecting, a proof set isn’t your everyday pocket change. These coins are struck using specially polished planchets (the metal discs that become coins) and dies (the molds that imprint the design). The process is more meticulous, using multiple strikes to ensure a sharp, detailed impression. They’re handled with extra care – often by gloved employees – to avoid fingerprints and blemishes. The result? A brilliant, mirror-like finish and a level of detail you won’t find on coins circulated in everyday commerce. “Think of it like the difference between a regular photograph and a high-definition print,” explains the Axiom Connected representative. “Both show the same image, but the proof has a level of clarity and brilliance that's just outstanding.” The 1976 Bicentennial Proof Set: A Closer Look This particular proof set includes all five coins that were part of the 1976 Bicentennial issue: Cent (Penny): Featuring the traditional Lincoln portrait on the obverse (heads) and a unique depiction of Independence Hall on the reverse. Nickel: Showcasing Jefferson on the obverse and Monticello on the reverse. While the obverse remained standard, the set completes the Bicentennial theme. Dime: Featuring Roosevelt on the obverse and a torch surrounded by olive and oak branches on the reverse, symbolizing liberty and peace. Quarter: This is where things really got interesting. The reverse shows a colonial drummer, representing the spirit of the Revolutionary War. Half Dollar: The reverse of the half dollar depicts Independence Hall, a powerful symbol of American freedom. Dollar: A striking image of the Liberty Bell graced the reverse of the dollar, further commemorating the nation's 200th birthday. Why Collect This Set? There are several reasons why the 1976 Bicentennial Proof Set is a popular choice for collectors: Historical Significance: It’s a direct link to a major milestone in American history.
