Congrats on the finds. I used to keep every bicentennial quarter I found but now I have rolls and rolls that are taking up space. I started snagging these back in 1976 so I think I'll sort out a few high grade coins to save, check the others for varieties, and cash in the rest.

I doubt it. The only Bicentennial coinage with any varieties I'm aware of is the Ike dollar, with its Type 1 and Type 2 reverses.

The bicentennial half dollar isn't anything rare or special.

Not sure if there are varieties for halves. But yes on quarters.

Note: A Bison is not a Buffalo. Bisons have horns in a different place than a Buffalo.
As to Bicentennial Coins. When I get a roll of Haves, I sometimes think that is all they made.

I didn't realize that the Bi-Centennial era had either a silver anniversary nor a half dollar honoring Mount Rushmore. Possibly a NIFC coin that the mint didn't publicly advertise?
