1 oz Philadelphia Centennial City Large Bell Silver Bar .999 Double Serial # Error
The 1 oz Philadelphia Centennial City Large Bell Silver Bar .999 Double Serial # Error was produced by Madison Mint as part of its Philadelphia Centennial-themed silver issues and contains approximately 1 troy ounce of .999 fine silver. Celebrating Philadelphia's historic role in the nation's founding, the bar features prominent Liberty Bell imagery and inscriptions commemorating the city's 1876-1976 centennial theme. Most notably, this particular example displays a double serial number error, adding an intriguing production anomaly to an already collectible vintage silver bar.
Madison Mint produced an extensive range of privately issued silver art bars during the height of the American art-bar collecting movement. These pieces covered subjects ranging from American history and transportation to holidays, landmarks, and major anniversaries.
The Philadelphia Centennial City issue commemorates the city's historic connection with the 1876 Centennial International Exhibition, held 100 years after American independence. The exhibition was America's first official world's fair and took place in Philadelphia, a city already closely associated with the Declaration of Independence, Independence Hall, and the Liberty Bell.
