They were released in three coin sets (with a 40% silver quarter and 40% silver dollar). They will have the S mint mark on them. Your 1976 was minted in Philadelphia (not mint mark) and is the normal copper-nickel clad.

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 73844 Posts	Posted 05/24/2024 10:29 pm I'm thinking low AU, for the grade. The toning was caused by some environmental factors. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
