Own a collectible piece of history! The Museum Store has a small number of limited edition coins made from salvaged USS CONSTITUTION copper - all among the first 200 coins struck in 2016!
CONSTITUTION underwent a restoration of its copper hull to prepare for America's bicentennial celebration in 1976, when it led Boston's parade of tall ships and hosted Queen Elizabeth's historic visit. Four decades later, the USS Constitution Museum offered a commemorative medallion made from the copper that was removed from the hull during that restoration. The Museum Store has a small number of these limited edition coins still available! Don't miss this "last chance" to get or gift this unique piece of Old Ironsides history.

I will buy some!
Now that's a wedding ring! Today Andrew and Camille stopped in during a trip from New Jersey and shared their special story with us! In 2023, Andrew bought jewelry from the Museum Store made from copper salvaged from USS CONSTITUTION during restoration. He then had it made into his wedding ring! He loves the ship so much and stops by every time he's in town! Their first wedding anniversary is approaching and we wish them a lifetime of happiness and an enduring union that echoes the strength of "Old Ironsides" herself! Huzzah! 🎉 ❤️
Andrew & Camille -- have a great trip and don't forget to stop by and see us again!

That is so cool! Congratulations folks! I have a Museum Goft Shop experience in would like to share. In 1978 I purchased a scrimshaw bracelet as a present for my grandmother. Unfortunately she passed away before I returned home to present it to her. Years later I had friend fashion it into a belt buckle. Last month I wore it to the Change of Command ceremony.
That… that is badass!
So cool!!!!
