As a numismatic tribute to the 200th anniversary of US independence, 1976 quarters were released. The US Mint issued these special edition coins in 1975 and 1976. As the first US quarter with a distinctive reverse design in over 50 years, it is remarkable.

Bicentennial Quarter

The bicentennial quarter was manufactured in Philadelphia (809,784,016 coins), Denver (860,118,839), and San Francisco (11,000,000 uncirculated 40% silver coins, 7,059,099 proof clad coins, and 4,000,000 proof 40% silver coins). The mint markings P, D, and S identify these mints.
