Bicentennial Quarters, 2 Coins Included, 1776 H 1976, Great Condition!

Description: The 1776-1976 Bicentennial quarters were issued by the United States Mint to celebrate the 200th anniversary of American independence. They are part of a series of commemorative coins minted for the bicentennial celebration, which also included special designs for the half dollar and dollar coins. Key Features of the Bicentennial Quarters: 1. Design: Obverse: The obverse features the standard design of George Washington's portrait by John Flanagan, which had been used on quarters since 1932. Reverse: The reverse, designed by Jack L. Ahr, depicts a colonial drummer with a torch encircled by 13 stars, representing the original colonies. The words "United States of America," "Quarter Dollar," and "E Pluribus Unum" are inscribed around the design. The date "1776-1976" replaces the traditional date, marking the bicentennial years. 2. Mint Marks: Coins were produced at the Philadelphia (no mint mark), Denver (D), and San Francisco (S) mints. The San Francisco Mint produced both proof and uncirculated versions in 40% silver and clad compositions. 3. Materials: Most of the Bicentennial quarters were struck in the standard copper-nickel clad composition. Special 40% silver versions were included in collector sets. 4. Mintage: These quarters were produced in large quantities during 1975 and 1976, ensuring they were widely available for circulation and collectors. They bear no separate 1975 date; all quarters made during those two years are dated 1776-1976. 5. Historical Significance: The Bicentennial quarters were part of a broader effort to celebrate America's 200th anniversary. They remain a popular piece of U.S. coinage history and a favorite among collectors.
