Our collection of rounds features designs from historical American coinage or images commonly associated with the United States and our history.
The USS Constitution, aka "Old Ironsides" is a heavy frigate (ship) with 3 masts, and a wooden hull that was launched in 1797. She is a vessel of the United States Navy and is the oldest naval vessel afloat. Her name - Constitution - was picked by George Washington. She is open year round for free tours and crewed by members of the United States Navy. She is docked at Pier 1 of the former Charlestown Navy Yard at the end of Boston's Freedom Trail. Another interesting note, the die for Old Ironsides was cut entirely by hand.
The reverse is a custom design of an eagle with outstretched wings, showing USA and the weight and purity on the top and bottom border.
Our rounds are die struck in Cincinnati Ohio, from .999 pure American copper with a minimum weight of 1oz AVDP per coin. They are struck with reeded edges like a US quarter and made coin turn.
Pure copper coins are sensitive to the oils on your fingers, so handle with gloves or by the edges if you want to avoid staining. We also recommend storing in a sulfur free environment, in pvc free tubes, flips or capsules.
Products made by Osborne are manufactured to strict standards for metal purity, weight and dimensions. We proudly stand behind the tens of millions of coins we make every year.
