1976-D Washington Quarter BU
In 1976, the Denver Mint struck a special version of the Washington quarter to celebrate a major American milestone. This coin features the dual dates of 1776 and 1976 on the obverse, marking the nation's bicentennial. Unlike the original silver quarters first introduced in 1932 to honor George Washington's 200th birthday, this modern issue is composed of a cupronickel clad copper alloy, a metallic composition adopted after the Coinage Act of 1965. This specific coin remains in Brilliant Uncirculated condition, preserving the crisp details of its design and inscriptions. On the obverse, the familiar portrait of George Washington is accompanied by the national motto, "IN GOD WE TRUST", alongside the dual commemorative dates. The reverse displays the traditional inscriptions "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA", "E PLURIBUS UNUM", and the denomination "QUARTER DOLLAR". It stands as a fascinating artifact of a nationwide celebration, representing a departure from the standard single-date coinage of the era.
