Overview

Historical significance

The 1976 Bicentennial Quarter was minted to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the United States Declaration of Independence. It features a special reverse design that replaced the standard eagle design for this one year.

Estimated value

The value of a 1976 Bicentennial Quarter depends on its condition (grade) and whether it was minted in Philadelphia (no mint mark), Denver (D), or San Francisco (S). Circulated coins are typically worth face value ($0.25). Uncirculated coins can range from $0.50 to a few dollars. Proof coins in excellent condition can fetch higher prices.

Care & preservation

Handle the coin by its edges to avoid transferring oils from your skin. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and humidity. For cleaning, consult a professional numismatist, as improper cleaning can damage the coin and reduce its value.
