• RARE 1976 QUARTER TO LOOK FOR IN POCKET CHANGE - BICENTENNIAL QUARTER 1776-1976. We look at quarter errors and proof quarters worth money. For more valuable.
• The obverse (i.e. Front side) of the Bicentennial Quarter was almost identical to the quarters of 1932-74, the only difference being the presence of the dual date of 1776-1976. The reverse design, created by Jack L. Ahr in a government sponsored contest, features a Colonial drummer and a victory torch encircled by 13 stars.
• These 1976 Bicentennial quarters are actually very common — more than 1.6 billion were made! Because so many 1976 Bicentennial quarters were made, they’re not really worth very much unless they’re in pristine condition. Unless your 1976 quarter has an “S” mintmark on it or it’s uncirculated.

The United States Bicentennial coinage is a set of circulating commemorative coins, consisting of a quarter, half dollar and dollar struck by the United States Mint in 1975 and 1976. Regardless of when struck, each coin bears the double date 1776–1976 on the normal obverses for the Washington quarter, Kennedy half dollar and Eisenhower dollar.

The Washington quarter is the present quarter dollar or 25-cent piece issued by the United States Mint. The coin was first struck in 1932. For other Washington quarters, see this CoinQuest page [Press Here]. We also have a page on special Washington Statehood quarters at this link [Press Here]
In 1973 the mint announced that the quarter, half dollar, and dollar coins would be re-designed for the country's bi-centennial by citizen artists via a $5,000 contest. Eventually three designs were chosen and plans to cancel the same three 1975 coins, make silver versions, and issue a new two dollar bill became reality. A victory torch encircled by 13 stars and a colonial drummer along with the typical mandated writing won the quarter design. JLA under the left arm are the initials of Jack L. Ahr, the winning designer. This quarter was issued over a two year period (1975 and 1976) with more than 800 million issued. So these are not rare and even in high grade they are very common and worth very little. All circulated coins made of copper-nickel are worth face value. Some silver proof coins were made especially for collectors and there are worth their weight in silver.
For a copper-nickel coin in brilliant conditions a collector might pay as high as $8 US dollars.
Damaged coins are worth zero. Please see our Important Terminology page found at the top left in order to convert the catalog values used here into actual buy and sales values.
