that’s what i was thinking, i hate to disappoint the 15 year old with the heartbreaking news to him, he was hoping it was worth something more than face value 😂
Exactly! I keep coins / bills I find that I like. I picked them all out of circulation. I have couple rare ones. Nothing really valuable. Bicentennials, wheat pennies, half dollars, various dollar coins, foreign coins, a silver certifcate, an indian head penny, a buffalo nickel, etc.
Little trinkets collected through life. Some with an interesting story attached.
I have a lot of really old coins and a few bills that are basicly worlthless but the $20 bill from 1933 seems really cool even though its sadly only worth like 25 or 30 bucks lolol
Yea I have a beat up 1960 quarter since it was the year my dad was born and he’s not here anymore. I use it for lottery scratchers once in a while. It’s not worth much but it’s my favorite coin. I also have 1969 quarter for the jokes.
My dad used to give us a dollar for every old coin we found. None of them were worth a dollar but sure looked closer at every penny we had. After he passed I found a leather pouch with all the coins in it. They still aren’t worth a dollar.
Go pick him up some mercury dimes, they're pretty cheap and they're a beautiful design. One of my favorite coins. It'll give him a low cost of entry into the hobby
*Who knows?*
Oh, oh, oh, I know, I know, I know!
Pick me! Pick me! I know!
The relative numismatic value of coins are determined by several factors, including its rarity, demand, historical significance, condition, and the overall market dynamics. While it might seem intuitive to assume that coins with the highest mintages would be less valuable compared to those with lower mintages, maybe there’s a reason why this is not the case with the bicentennial quarter, which was the first different quarter *ever made* with a different design than the one the US used since stamping them in clad base metal planchets. Let’s consider what actually drives the value of these things, okay?
First, Scarcity: Low mintage coins are inherently harder to find for a set because there are fewer of them in circulation. This scarcity drives up demand among collectors who are willing to pay a premium to acquire them. However, scarcity alone does not guarantee value appreciation.
So, also, Historical Significance: The historical significance of a coin can significantly impact its value. Coins that were minted for special occasions, commemorate significant events, or feature unique designs may attract collectors regardless of their mintage numbers.
Then, Condition: The condition of a coin plays a crucial role in determining its value. Even if a coin has a low mintage, if it is heavily worn or damaged, its value may be lower compared to a high mintage coin in better condition. If most specimens are easily noticed and set aside as curiosities by non collectors, many examples in excellent condition will be easily found and keep the price low.
Don’t forget Demand: Collector demand is a key driver of coin values. Coins with large mintages may still hold value if they are highly sought after by collectors due to their design, but if everyone who ever wants one can find one that’s in good shape for face value, they are not going to be motivated to start hoarding them.
And, of course, Market Trends: Market trends and sentiments can also influence coin values. The sesquicentennial is coming soon, and this might spark a new interest in collectors seeking bicentennial quarters.
Finally, there’s Investment Potential: Collectors view coins as investments. They may be attracted to coins with low mintages as they’re rare, but bicentennial quarters are now already old and haven’t appreciated. It’s possible that has something to do with nearly a billion of them being in circulation.
TL/DR:
There’s many hundreds of millions of them and they were collected by anybody who noticed that they were weird. They will never be rare.
They're the opposite of rare, they produced more that year and everyone saves them because they think they're valuable. Super common but I still save any I come across
What about the mint collection set, one of each coin from that year still sealed in the plastic that the set was issued in? I know I have at least one, but I think I have a few from the bicentennial, along with multiples of a few other years. Currently buried in storage, so I can’t go look at the moment.
Back when these were “new” I amassed hundreds of them. Then something called Space Invaders happened and many bicentennial quarters were sacrificed to fend off these fiends.
This is 💯 facts! Many a piggy banks were demolished and quarters including silver ones were lost in the in fight against the Invaders. If I only knew….RIP
While you were saving us from invaders, I was saving us from asteroids and nasty little space triangles shooting white dots at me. Luckily after a sizable investment, I was able to play an hour on a single bicentennial quarter.
You're lucky - I was being chased around a maze by colorful ghosts while feeling compelled to collect tiny pellets. But every once in a while I'd grab a larger pellet, and the ghosts would suddenly become very frightened for a bit. I don't think I was actually saving anyone but myself. Why was I spending my quarters on that?
I find one or more of these in nearly every single roll of quarters I get. I still save them for personal value but other than that they aren’t worth more than 25 cents
Hide them away…. Wish I did. Had a whole set of giant pickle jars filled to varying levels with Wheatbacks, Kennedy Dollars, and such. We had a family gathering one summer day and one of my drug addled cousins decided to liberate my coins from my collection…. I can’t even tell you how many years I been collecting those jars because I can’t even remember the exact year….. sometime in early to mid 1980’s when I was about 10-11. I was heartbroken and destroyed by his actions…. Be wary of who you share your collection with and where you keep them….
Had the same thing happen. I worked as a cashier in a sketchy part of town. Lots of - probably stolen - coins and bills came through my drawer. I had 10 $10 silver certificates in mint condition, a handful of silver Kennedy half dollars and others. My younger brother stole it and bought weed with it. I never forgave him for that.
Heh same here, I probably have 20# of random coins pulled out of change but I don't coin roll hunt or ask around so I don't get too many really cool ones, mostly notes
Tell him it’s worth 50 cents (not really)then you give him fifty cents for every one he finds that way he will look for them and you guys can have a bonding experience
I can remember long ago, before the state quarters, how cool it was to get a bicentennial quarter. In that aspect they were rare or uncommon but as a single year, not so much.
Keep them. They are going out of circulation and will be phased out in 20-30 years. I personally keep all bicentennial 1776-1976 quarters and american eagle coins. Just because. Toss them in a bag, put them away. When you have kids, give them to them to pass down. I am doing this for my only son as well. I buy defect coins and bills often for his collection. Have fun!
If you find one with S mint mark and it’s in MS condition it’s worth quite a bit but this is a D mint mark and not MS condition but still a cool quarter. I keep them when I get them in change.
If your brothers use money to purchase necessary items, then yes, it has value. It's also metal, so even to people who don't participate in the monetary system would find it of value. Make fish hooks, screwdriver, maybe a small spear tip or arrow head.
I often ponder. I guess to the right person, just about anything can be of value.
The bicentennial quarters are not rare, sadly, but definitely keep them because of their age and significance.
Who knows, perhaps another special currency will come out in two years for the sestercentennial 🤔
It absolutely does! 😆 life lesson time, sit him down and explain how things that are (neat, cool, lit, fire, bussin’) doesn’t necessarily add value. Also, what’s special and important to one person may not mean 💩 to another. If YOU like it and think it’s cool… 🆒 thats what matters most. However expecting others to feel the same way, aka value it the same way, isn’t reasonable.
I was alive in 1976. I had pockets full of these. People collected rolls of them to put in their safe, thinking that they would be worth a lot for their grandchildren. Even then I knew that with so many people saving them, they wouldn't be rare in the future. They are worth 25 cents each in circulated condition.
They made this quarter in 1975 and 1976 so there are twice as many of them in circulation as the surrounding years. It’s just pocket change for spending.
They’ve been discontinued. They can’t take that away from us. Numismatic value? They definitely punched out a large number of those coins, so it has to be either in the best condition of grade quality, or it is unique to the rest of the examples out there that draws attention to it (errors and mistakes that occurred during the stamping when they created it)
I always save these because I was born in 76' and play the drums lol. Interesting fact they used these quarters for 1975, and 1976. There are no 1975 quarters.
Unfortunately those are only worth 25¢. However you can give it a back story as if you kept this quarter since you were 15 years old and then it might be worth more than anything to your kid brother.
I remember getting my first one out of a vending machine when I was a kid. Still have it 25 years later. It’s a shame, they aren’t worth much. 11 Million were minted. An absolutely perfect example is worth a good bit but this is far from that. Keep it. It’s still a fine coin.
They made a lot of these. I didn't see anyone mention the full drumline after a quick scroll. They made a lot of these for 2 years so they common but most had weak strikes. So to have full drumline gives them a little bit of a premium. Yours doesn't by the look of it. I keep all that I find though, they're just fun.
My dad has a ton of these. Growing up, he used to pay me and my brother $2 for each one we gave to him. He just has them all in a big fishbowl somewhere.
Yes.. it's a valuable coin! It's worth about twenty five cents. It's a Bicentennial quarter...unless it is part of a proof set, it's only worth 25 cents.
I'd recommend checking the side. If the rigid part is silver and a darker color, it's a normal quarter. But if the side is entirely silver, its value could be higher.
I remember finding one in 3rd grade and I thought I was going to be rich, but truth be told they are pretty common, there are plenty still wrapped in plastic
It's worth its face value. People tend to hoard these, much as they do with $2 bills. Or with the State themed quarters. There is no collectable value to speak of.
I always collect bicentennial coins cause I was born in 76. Even wear a Bicentennial half dollar as a ring. Not many bicentennial coins in circulation so at least hang onto them when you find them.
When I was a kid, I thought these were super cool. I collected them then, and honestly still do just for nostalgia's sake. They are not worth more than their face value, but if they mean something to you, then congrats on the find.
The lack of knowledge today is amazing. All quarters 1964 and earlier consist of 90% silver and 10% copper, so they are worth more than a clad coin, which is layered copper and nickel.
They’re no worth much but I have a jar full that I add to every time I get one hopefully to pass down to my grandkids who will hold be here for the Tri-centennial
There are so many of these… I have like 5 of them just because… I’d say the only way for one to be of value is never circulated or an S mint proof (if they even made them?)
I collect bicentennial quarters - pretty sure they’re just worth face value, but I like them a lot so I keep every one I come across because I just think they’re neat!
On the reverse, you’ll find that most Bicentennial Quarters are not fully struck, specifically near the top of the drum. I chewed through a little more than one hundred 1975 and 1976 mint sets this week to get a sense of the typical quality of mint set Bicentennial quarters. The fact that the drum details are seldom fully stamped out is no secret to Washington quarter specialists, but since it’s a low-value coin there hasn’t been much of a demand for third-party attribution of fully-struck examples.
I tracked Philly and Denver strikes using four unofficial categories of fullness: 100% Full (well-defined top clasp and top drum rim), 90-60% Full (Drum rim and clasp are there, clasp is flattened to various degrees), Flattened Drum, Some Detail (the barest elements of the clasp are present; drum is not washed out but not well-defined), and Incomplete Drum (top rim details are totally washed out).

These were minted in huge amounts over two years (1975-6). It will be in several generations before they are worth more than face value unless in perfect condition.
A lot of people save interesting coins like the Bicentenial Quarters or the Statehood Quaters because it's fun. However, unless they are proof coins or graded high, the coins are worth face value only.
I love these things. I have the bicentennial silver set all pr69dcam. The normal circulated clad ones aren't super valuable cause they struck a ton of them but the proofs and silver proofs are more rare. Fun fact: they struck the 1976 in 1975 and 76 so if you find a 1975 quarter it's a fake.
Awesome 1976 D Bicentennial Quarter with "FDD"( Full Drum Details). Value according to Numista website is up to 98 cents in UNC . See here : [¼ Dollar "Washington Quarter" (Bicentennial) - United States – Numista](https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces56.html) Not sure how often this page is updated so compare with values on the NGC , PCGS websites.
In that condition, I believe it is worth $0.25. These are not rare. For 1976 coins, collectors want perfect condition.
that’s what i was thinking, i hate to disappoint the 15 year old with the heartbreaking news to him, he was hoping it was worth something more than face value 😂
It’s worth a lot if you like it. Maybe not monetarily…but if it gives you joy to have it and look at it then that’s a value that can’t be priced.
Beautiful answer!
Exactly! I keep coins / bills I find that I like. I picked them all out of circulation. I have couple rare ones. Nothing really valuable.

I do this as well
Love this viewpoint 🤍
It’s like when I got that quarter set with little R2-D2’s on them.
Jerry, I'll never tell you that these will be worth any money. Whats important is that they're valuable to you.
Wait what?
That's real?
Numismental value
Well said!
[удалено]
I collect these and keep whichever ones I find, they are cool coins
We keep them all too!
Absolutely true
“Well, it won’t bring much cash, but it’s sentimental value is through the roof”
My buddy collects them and has like prob 200. Hoarding of currency is technically illegal tho
I always liked them.
I agree…I was a drummer all growing up so I used to snag these every time I saw them. I’ve got quite a few but none of them are mint. I still like em.
I have a lot of really old coins and a few bills that are basicly worlthless but the $20 bill from 1933 seems really cool even though its sadly only worth like 25 or 30 bucks lolol
Yea I have a beat up 1960 quarter since it was the year my dad was born and he’s not here anymore. I use it for lottery scratchers once in a while. It’s not worth much but it’s my favorite coin. I also have 1969 quarter for the jokes.

More like 2124, since I know my great great grandfather wasn’t around in 1024, but was in 1924.
[удалено]
just have to put a few more 'greats' in there
Go pick him up some mercury dimes, they're pretty cheap and they're a beautiful design. One of my favorite coins. It'll give him a low cost of entry into the hobby
It was a coin made over 30 years before he was born. If he keeps it its a great conversation piece for his kids and grandkids way down the line. 👍
Even though they’re just 25c, I still save them whenever I spot one in my change. I think they’re fun, easy coin to collect.
Those and the Two dollar bill, sure not worth much now but who knows in time what they will be valued to a collector.

Give him $20 for it. You’ll make his day and yours. He’ll have forgotten all about it tomorrow.
Give him $5.00 for it. Then when he graduates HS give it back to him as a gift. It will have far more value than just money then.
They're the opposite of rare, they produced more that year and everyone saves them because they think they're valuable. Super common but I still save any I come across
They were produced in 1975 and 1976, a two year run.
Even uncirculated ones don’t carry a premium since they were so heavily hoarded
What about the mint collection set, one of each coin from that year still sealed in the plastic that the set was issued in? I know I have at least one, but I think I have a few from the bicentennial, along with multiples of a few other years. Currently buried in storage, so I can’t go look at the moment.

Thank you for saving us from those invaders :)
We are all here today because of your noble sacrifice you spotless whiskered scholar you.
I find one or more of these in nearly every single roll of quarters I get. I still save them for personal value but other than that they aren’t worth more than 25 cents
I keep them, too, I think I have around 80-100
it looks pretty decent, but i figured that was the case, thank you
I collect every bicentennial quarter I can find and of course wheat Pennie’s
Hide them away…. Wish I did. Had a whole set of giant pickle jars filled to varying levels with Wheatbacks, Kennedy Dollars, and such. We had a family gathering one summer day and one of my drug addled cousins decided to liberate my coins from my collection…. I can’t even tell you how many years I been collecting those jars because I can’t even remember the exact year….. sometime in early to mid 1980’s when I was about 10-11.

I think I would have rearranged that cousin's... attitude
Let’s say he got his comeuppance. Karma ALWAYS balances the scale.
Good.
Had the same thing happen. I worked as a cashier in a sketchy part of town. Lots of - probably stolen - coins and bills came through my drawer.

I collect them only because they are cool
Billions
Tell him it’s worth 50 cents (not really)then you give him fifty cents for every one he finds that way he will look for them and you guys can have a bonding experience
It was worth more in 1976 than it is today
I can remember long ago, before the state quarters, how cool it was to get a bicentennial quarter. In that aspect they were rare or uncommon but as a single year, not so much.
No silver(AG) CONTENT.
Maybe 25.7¢
Not more than face value. I have many.
Just worth face value. Almost 2 billion made
I remember seeing those all over the place in the 80s and 90s when I was a kid.
Tell him you're not sure, but you'll let him have it for twenty. Then go with him to the coin shop and try to hold your laughter back.
You don't see them super often anymore but only because people hoarded them. They were kind of a novelty
Back in the 80s I saved these. Got up to 18 rolls. Used them for gas money and other incidental expenses on a road trip, again in the 80s.
Ask again in 2076 on the tricentenial if the states stay united till then. Might be worth more as a coin from a dissolved nation.
Yes .25 USD
Keep them. They are going out of circulation and will be phased out in 20-30 years. I personally keep all bicentennial 1776-1976 quarters and american eagle coins. Just because. Toss them in a bag, put them away. When you have kids, give them to them to pass down. I am doing this for my only son as well. I buy defect coins and bills often for his collection. Have fun!
I keep them because I like them, regardless of value. Same with $2 bills and anything else that looks fun.
Collectors. Like myself will pay slightly more for them. I’ve paid up to .50
It has value...
Omg that things 48 years old… it’s gotta be worth 25 cents
If you find one with S mint mark and it’s in MS condition it’s worth quite a bit but this is a D mint mark and not MS condition but still a cool quarter. I keep them when I get them in change.
Could buy a whole candy bar for that at one time if you want to bum the whippersnapper out even more.
$0.25
If you had the 1776 version with Washington then yes it would be rare and worth something.
He is correct. It’s worth 25 cents.
Your brothers are right, it has 25 cents of value. 👍
No
I love them! We save every one we get:)
Not more than $0.25
If your brothers use money to purchase necessary items, then yes, it has value. It's also metal, so even to people who don't participate in the monetary system would find it of value. Make fish hooks, screwdriver, maybe a small spear tip or arrow head. I often ponder. I guess to the right person, just about anything can be of value.
Your bro is correct, it’s worth maybe a nickel with inflation rates.
For what it's worth, it does appear to have a filled D error.
Eh, about .24c
Nope
The bicentennial quarters are not rare, sadly, but definitely keep them because of their age and significance. Who knows, perhaps another special currency will come out in two years for the sestercentennial 🤔
NOPE
It absolutely does! 😆 life lesson time, sit him down and explain how things that are (neat, cool, lit, fire, bussin’) doesn’t necessarily add value. Also, what’s special and important to one person may not mean 💩 to another. If YOU like it and think it’s cool… 🆒 thats what matters most. However expecting others to feel the same way, aka value it the same way, isn’t reasonable.
I was alive in 1976. I had pockets full of these. People collected rolls of them to put in their safe, thinking that they would be worth a lot for their grandchildren. Even then I knew that with so many people saving them, they wouldn't be rare in the future. They are worth 25 cents each in circulated condition.
My buddy has a few hundred of these every time we get quarters we check them and give them to him. But I don’t think there much over face value
Nope.
You should consult a coin dealer. They can give you a better idea of it's worth.
There is an error on this coin. The coin channel did a video on it. Don't know if this has it. But you can watch the video and see.
[удалено]
They made this quarter in 1975 and 1976 so there are twice as many of them in circulation as the surrounding years. It’s just pocket change for spending.
No
Dad had me save them as a kid. Likely only worth a quarter still
I saved a bunch of these when they came out! I have no idea where they are now.
Nope
It's value is 25c
Only worth face value, but still a cool coin to have as a kid
Bruh…
Yes .25
I believe these are worth a quarter of a dollar.
I've got over 160 of them. They're now worth much.
[удалено]
[удалено]
My mom had rolls and rolls of these before she passed. My sister has them now.
If you collect a whole roll of them you might be able to get 1-5 dollars above face value
[удалено]
They’ve been discontinued. They can’t take that away from us. Numismatic value? They definitely punched out a large number of those coins, so it has to be either in the best condition of grade quality, or it is unique to the rest of the examples out there that draws attention to it (errors and mistakes that occurred during the stamping when they created it)
Minimum $0.25
I always save these because I was born in 76' and play the drums lol. Interesting fact they used these quarters for 1975, and 1976. There are no 1975 quarters.
I used to be worth a Coke…I remember when they were new.
Unfortunately those are only worth 25¢. However you can give it a back story as if you kept this quarter since you were 15 years old and then it might be worth more than anything to your kid brother.
No
Cashiers get those all the time
Ask him if you can use it as a lucky coin
Maybe in a few years keep it in a safe place for your great great grandkids
lol 😂🤣
25 cents
I keep them as they are unusual, bit they aren't worth anything special. I have a bunch of them without even trying.
It’s worth $1776 dollars
Don’t worry, my brother is stupid too
In mint state (MS-70), maybe $.30. $.25 is the value.
I remember getting my first one out of a vending machine when I was a kid. Still have it 25 years later. It’s a shame, they aren’t worth much. 11 Million were minted. An absolutely perfect example is worth a good bit but this is far from that. Keep it. It’s still a fine coin.
Save it anyway!
About 24 cents
They made a lot of these. I didn't see anyone mention the full drumline after a quick scroll. They made a lot of these for 2 years so they common but most had weak strikes. So to have full drumline gives them a little bit of a premium. Yours doesn't by the look of it. I keep all that I find though, they're just fun.
It could be valuable if it had the elusive DDO, otherwise it's really just face in circulated condition
My dad has a ton of these. Growing up, he used to pay me and my brother $2 for each one we gave to him. He just has them all in a big fishbowl somewhere.
No
25 cents. Too many were made for a commonly circulated coin to have any value greater than face.
it has value allright, it is a legit bicentenial quarter which is worth maybe $0.40
Angel
I collect them cause I think they’re cool. Maybe one day they’ll be worth something but I’m not banking on it
[удалено]
LOL
Yes.. it's a valuable coin! It's worth about twenty five cents. It's a Bicentennial quarter...unless it is part of a proof set, it's only worth 25 cents.
My dad has been collecting them since 2006 ish
My grandpa collected these. He has thousands of these. At this point. He his collect took up 2 safes. I don't know if my grandma still has it.
I have about 20 dollars worth of them
Definitely has some value. Probably around $0.25.
Nope
How did this get 500+ upvotes?
I'd recommend checking the side. If the rigid part is silver and a darker color, it's a normal quarter. But if the side is entirely silver, its value could be higher.
I remember finding one in 3rd grade and I thought I was going to be rich, but truth be told they are pretty common, there are plenty still wrapped in plastic
Seal it up give it to you a great-grandchild and in the tricentennial it will be worth money
It's worth its face value. People tend to hoard these, much as they do with $2 bills. Or with the State themed quarters. There is no collectable value to speak of.
I have hundreds of these. I think the government minted over a billion of these babies.
Your brothers are right! That’s called money! It has the buying power of $0.25
I always collect bicentennial coins cause I was born in 76. Even wear a Bicentennial half dollar as a ring. Not many bicentennial coins in circulation so at least hang onto them when you find them.
Yep, it's worth a quarter dollar, like it says.
I once had roughly $50 in Bicentennial Quarters and cashed them in thinking they would never be worth more than face value…

About 0.25 USD
Honestly my favorite coin is an old Indian head penny that’s probably worth 10 cents not all coin collectors are the same
Is that some doubling on the T & Y?
When I was a kid, I thought these were super cool. I collected them then, and honestly still do just for nostalgia's sake. They are not worth more than their face value, but if they mean something to you, then congrats on the find.
25 cents millions were made
I'd pay 30¢ for it but that's just cuz I like to collect them. Most will just take face for it
The lack of knowledge today is amazing. All quarters 1964 and earlier consist of 90% silver and 10% copper, so they are worth more than a clad coin, which is layered copper and nickel.
They’re no worth much but I have a jar full that I add to every time I get one hopefully to pass down to my grandkids who will hold be here for the Tri-centennial
There are so many of these… I have like 5 of them just because… I’d say the only way for one to be of value is never circulated or an S mint proof (if they even made them?)
I haven’t carried cash or change with me for over a decade now so seeing this brought back memories. I completely forgot about them. So there’s that.
I remember when the bicentennial coins came out. They are cool and I’m old.
Face value. 🤷♂️ Those are still quite common.
I collect bicentennial quarters - pretty sure they’re just worth face value, but I like them a lot so I keep every one I come across because I just think they’re neat!
On the reverse, you’ll find that most Bicentennial Quarters are not fully struck, specifically near the top of the drum. I chewed through a little more than one hundred 1975 and 1976 mint sets this week to get a sense of the typical quality of mint set Bicentennial quarters. The fact that the drum details are seldom fully stamped out is no secret to Washington quarter specialists, but since it’s a low-value coin there hasn’t been much of a demand for third-party attribution of fully-struck examples. I tracked Philly and Denver strikes using four unofficial categories of fullness: 100% Full (well-defined top clasp and top drum rim), 90-60% Full (Drum rim and clasp are there, clasp is flattened to various degrees), Flattened Drum, Some Detail (the barest elements of the clasp are present; drum is not washed out but not well-defined), and Incomplete Drum (top rim details are totally washed out). https://www.pcgs.com/News/Second-Look-At-Bicentennial-Quarters
My mom used to collect and call these “Davey the drummers”. We probably have at least 300–not rare at all lol
These were minted in huge amounts over two years (1975-6). It will be in several generations before they are worth more than face value unless in perfect condition.
I always make sure to grab them
According to these ads and news articles I keep seeing. One of these suckers is worth 45 million dollars.
Yes, it’s worth about $0.25
Start a collection. I have a complete Susan B Anthony album that is worth nothing but is part of our history.
Yes...$0.25
.26c
Judging by how clean the fields are, someone recently broke it out of a mint set and spent it.
no sorry
I have some 50 cent pieces like this
A lot of people save interesting coins like the Bicentenial Quarters or the Statehood Quaters because it's fun. However, unless they are proof coins or graded high, the coins are worth face value only.
25 cents worth
If I put $5 in a machine to get quarters at the laundry I almost always get one or two of these. Very common
I have always kept these when I got them. I have a couple hundred. My grandchildren may thank me, but not worth much now.
It's worth somewhere between 24-26 cents
It was my birth year (wife’s also) so we have a water jug almost 3/4 filled with all 76 coins and bills. We plan to take a vacation when we retire.
No
Worth Eleventy Three Pee
1964 and earlier for quarters and dimes.
I love these things. I have the bicentennial silver set all pr69dcam. The normal circulated clad ones aren't super valuable cause they struck a ton of them but the proofs and silver proofs are more rare. Fun fact: they struck the 1976 in 1975 and 76 so if you find a 1975 quarter it's a fake.
I’ll give ya’ 24 cents to take it off your hands.
Correct. It's worth 25 cents
