40% Silver 1776-1976 Bicentennial Quarter (BU/PF): product overview
The quarter’s Bicentennial redesign
The quarter received a special colonial-drummer reverse for the United States Bicentennial. Coins struck in 1975 and 1976 carry the dual date 1776–1976. This listing specifies the silver collector version; the shared Bicentennial design also appears on clad quarters and is not, by itself, proof of silver content.
What distinguishes this offering
This is the Brilliant Uncirculated offering. It suits comparisons within the same issue and BU condition, rather than against a proof or a coin carrying a certified numerical grade.

Frequently asked questions
Does 1776–1976 mean this quarter was struck in 1776?
No. It marks the Bicentennial anniversary. The design was produced in 1975 and 1976, and the dual date alone does not identify the silver composition.
Does BU mean a guaranteed MS70 coin?
No. Brilliant Uncirculated is a condition description, not a promise of MS70 certification. Surface marks and other differences can exist among uncirculated examples.
What should I record after buying this item?
Keep the invoice with the product name, quantity and any visible certification or serial number. These details help distinguish this offer from other dates, grades or packaging variants.
Does the asking price guarantee a later resale value?
No. A future offer can reflect the metal market, product demand, condition and selling costs. Compare current buy and sell quotations for the same product when evaluating the spread.
