Key Fact
Description
These are two 1976 United States Bicentennial quarter dollar coins. The obverse features a profile of George Washington, designed by John Flanagan. The reverse displays a colonial drummer boy and a flaming torch, designed by Jack L. Ahr and Seth G. Huntington respectively. These coins were minted in 1975 and 1976 to commemorate the 200th anniversary of American independence.
History
The Bicentennial coinage program was a significant event in U.S. numismatics, celebrating a pivotal moment in American history. The quarter's reverse design replaced the traditional eagle with imagery evoking the Revolutionary War era. The drummer boy symbolizes the spirit of liberty and perseverance, while the torch signifies enlightenment and the flame of freedom passed down through generations.
Facts
These coins are notable for their unique dual date (1776-1976) and the special reverse designs. They were struck at both the Philadelphia and Denver mints, identifiable by the 'P' and 'D' mint marks, respectively. The Bicentennial quarters are a popular entry point for new collectors due to their widespread availability and historical significance.
Value Fact
While these Bicentennial quarters are common, their collector value can increase with higher grades or if they are part of a complete uncirculated mint set. Individual circulated examples are typically worth their face value plus a small premium. Uncirculated pieces from proof sets or special mint sets command higher prices depending on market demand and condition.
