1973 American Revolution Bicentennial First Day Cover & Medal Set
A piece of patriotic history from the road to the nation's 200th birthday! This is the official 1973 issue from the American Revolution Bicentennial Administration (ARBA) commemorative series, which released one cover annually from 1972 to 1976. This specific set honors the Committees of Correspondence, featuring a First Day Cover stamped envelope and a solid bronze commemorative medal sealed in a protective blister pack. The medal for 1973 typically depicts Samuel Adams and Patrick Henry on the obverse, celebrating the early organization of the revolution. A perfect crossover collectible for both stamp (philately) and coin (numismatic) enthusiasts.

Medal: Official Bronze Bicentennial Medal (1.5" diameter)
Stamps: 8-cent "Rise of the Spirit of Independence" stamps (likely a block of 4)
Postmark: "First Day of Issue" (Usually July 4, 1973) Condition: Sealed/Unopened. The item appears to be in its original packaging with the medal fully enclosed and the envelope showing minimal wear.
The "73": The large white number "73" inside the red vertical stripe on the left side of the envelope indicates the year of issue (1973). The series ran from '72 (Blue), '73 (Red), '74 (Red), '75 (Blue), to '76 (Red/Blue/White).
