There are two big challenges with bicentennial quarters, as I see it. First, everyone back in 1976 felt they were special, so many, many, many pristine versions were saved immediately upon reaching circulation. Second, the Mint ran those dies super hard. There are large numbers of poorly struck bicentennial quarters. Melting lettering, incomplete drum rim, broken post D marks, you name it.
Edit: I see you added more details to explain the error.

Ironically, my best ever find in circulation (customer-wrapped quarter roll) was this bicentennial quarter:   |

I think I understand, the more detail of everything the better correct?
I bought a third party one ms-68 UNC And the drum is like running down

I'm leaning towards they both have wrapped damage on the reverse of the coins, maybe a tad on the front top one

too many photos in this thread. I have no idea if they are the same coin or multiple coins. one coin per thread, take coins out of holders, do not use overhead lighting as it creates too much glare which obscures the surfaces one thing I can say regarding sending these in is if you look at the ebay sales on these the only ones that are selling are MS67 or better. the chance you found a 67 in circulation is pretty much zip. if you never sent a coin in for grading, using PCGS as an example, you can expect a $69 subscription fee plus the lowest level grading fee of $23 plus shipping and ins both ways. the coin needs to have a fairly high value to make that worth the cost of around $100 |

So let us revisit 1776-1976 in a goof off kind of way, get it :)) Silly IT tech humor above. So let's see if these coins are any good shall we, I did find more without the goof running around :) lol"me being the goof" if I can't laugh at myself,, well then this wouldn't be any fun and I wouldn't be here anymore. Ps yes this is what I've been doing for what it feels like forever and I am slow as molasses/hunting other absolutely beautiful coins. Just me getting more from the banks has expired, for I haven't even begun to scratch scratch the surface of my pile of mayhem. Now I have only what I have, no more buying coins for now,, for we all see where that has gotten me. The "liar" was from just one but this one is huge in our industry and therefore to me is like everyone+me. Yes I just added references from my other post sorry :) not sorry, for this is how I feel like, I'm stuck in one big post that is neverending and I kinda did it to myself, I think. For I could be on a totally different topic/different coin/different day and 1793 will rain vengeance down on me. From just showing it and me believing in my research. I have asked how to fix it and was told get this (1793) in a slab and that is a beginning of the repairs needed, dang that's a huge ask but I'm still trying :) If I do give anyone my "opinion" that's all it implies is my own opinion. :) I hope we all know this by now. JMO, just my opinion. Let's begin : I thought I could do comparisons but I am too picky and I am thinking I haven't dialed in the right pictures yet to do so. So any advice on pictures or did my last two nail it?   |
