Hi Sports writer

There are actually four of the unc circulating versions of the coins. There's a quarter, half, type I dollar and type II dollar. It would be 8 total if you count both the P and D mint marks. In typical condition these coins are very inexpensive withe the exception of the '76-P type I dollar which retails about $4.

There are also thre uncirculated coins in silver clad. This set will run about $14. These dis not actually circulate and are S mint.

There is another very similar set which was made on high speed presses and has horrid quality. These are scarce but sell for the same as the high quality set.

There is also a three piece proof version in silver clad with the S mint mark. This set is around $14 retail.

Finally there are the clad versions of the uncirculated coins in proof. This includes both the type I and type II dollars. These actually cost more than the silver versions usually though the quarter and half are very inexpensive (about double face value).

There are some oddballs but they are rare.

The easiest way to get the entire set of the eight coins is to buy both a 1975 and 1976 mint set. This will cost about $17 with shipping and is more likely to result in getting mnice examples than most other means.

You can also search dealer stock looking for nice coins and the cost will be about the same and you'll have much nicer coins.

Wow, thank you so much cladking. I think I'll go for the two mint sets or the silver proof version. Thanks again!
