1976 Washington Quarter BU
The 1976 Washington quarter stands out as a distinctive modern issue, celebrating a major national milestone with its dual dating of 1776 to 1976 on the obverse. This particular coin is preserved in Brilliant Uncirculated condition, showcasing the original design details as they emerged from the Philadelphia Mint. While first introduced in 1932 to replace the Standing Liberty design, the quarter underwent a significant metallic transformation decades later. Following the passage of the Coinage Act of 1965, the composition of these circulating coins transitioned from silver to a copper core clad in a cupronickel alloy. This 1976 issue reflects that modern clad composition. The coin features the classic profile of George Washington alongside the traditional mottos IN GOD WE TRUST and E PLURIBUS UNUM, flanked by the inscriptions of UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and the QUARTER DOLLAR denomination.
