2025 LEXINGTON-CONCORD COMMEMORATIVE

 

This year our hometown of Concord, Massachusetts is celebrating the 250th anniversary of the start of the American Revolution. We are home to the famous "shot heard round the world." It's Patriots' Day on April 19th, and Concord has an annual small parade over the old North Bridge with minuteman contingents from the area, as well as marching bands from various towns.

Concord is making an especially big deal of this landmark year, with many additional celebratory events planned. Our ordinarily sleepy historical town of under 20,000 residents is expecting several multitudes of that in visitors for that weekend. Marching groups from around the country are planning on participating in the parade. President Ford attended the 200th anniversary in 1975, and this year some are speculating that President Trump could make an appearance. Let the circus begin!

To honor this event, Northeast commissioned Daniel Carr of Moonlight Mint to overstrike 1925 Lexington-Concord Commemorative coins with a modified design. The year 1925 has been changed to 2025, and Sesquicentennial has been changed to Semiquincentennial (say that 5 times fast!).

250 of these new commems were struck, and they are now encased in ANACS holders featuring Daniel Carr's signature. We expect significant demand for these, as Carr's other works have proven to be very popular. You'll find these listed on our website under U.S. coins in both the Silver Commemoratives section and the Tokens section. We are initially limiting the purchase of these to one per household. Grab one now before they sell out!

Happy Collecting!
