Overview

Obverse features the portrait of George Washington facing left with dual-dated '1776-1976' at the bottom. The word 'LIBERTY' is at the top and 'IN GOD WE TRUST' is on the left.

Historical significance

Issued to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the United States Declaration of Independence. It was the first time in U.S. history that the design of a circulating coin was changed for a specific anniversary.

Estimated value

$0.25 - $2.00 (Circulated coins are generally worth face value; uncirculated or high-grade examples can command a small premium)

Care & preservation

Handle by the edges to avoid fingerprints. Store in a cool, dry place inside a protective holder or flip. Never use abrasive cleaners or polish, as this significantly reduces numismatic value.
