1976-D Bicentennial Quarter with a D Mintmark: Among the rarest of the Bicentennial Quarters is the 1976-D quarter,
What makes this coin particularly valuable is a minting error known as the “Type 2” reverse, where the designer’s initials,
FG (for Frank Gasparro), are smaller and located closer to the tail feathers of the eagle.
Only a small fraction of these quarters were minted with this error, making them highly sought after by collectors.
Examples of this rare coin have fetched prices in the thousands of dollars, with some in exceptional condition commanding even higher premiums.
1976-S Proof Bicentennial Quarter: Another prized specimen is the 1976-S Proof Bicentennial Quarter, minted in San Francisco and featuring a stunning
proof finish. Proof coins are struck using specially prepared dies and planchets, resulting in coins with unparalleled detail and mirror-like surfaces.
