coinsearcher83 Pillar of the Community United States 1358 Posts	Posted 07/11/2016 9:46 pm Quarters were minted in 1975 but without the 1975 date: they were split between 1974 and 1976, probably due to Bicentennial fever and the Mint not wanting to make a potentially rare date (half a year's mintage of 1975) relatively soon after the metal composition changeover.

PlumCrazy814 Pillar of the Community United States 883 Posts	Posted 07/11/2016 10:21 pm The 1976 Bicentennial Dollars, Half dollars, and quarters were minted starting with the 1975 minting period hence no 1975 date on those denominations. For those of us that were alive and collectors then it was very exciting and the country in general was enjoying re-learning about the founding of the country. There are coins that you can be certain were minted in 1975 with a 1976 date but for the most part they are the ones that were issued in collector sets. Report this Post to the Staff

And, as they planned, it was easy to find these in a handful of change when the time came. Finding the first one was also a very exciting event since we had not seen a major design change for quite awhile. Seeing th new designs in proof sets was an unforgettable experience. The later State Quarter program (etc.) has its merits, but making so many new designs for each year took a bit of the "special" out of finding a new design away. If changing REV designs had not become so commonplace, I think the bicentennial proof sets might still be viewed with more interest for their uniqueness.

I don't remember which is which. This is for the Eisenhower dollar. Variety one was minted in 1975 and Variety two was minted in 1976. There are supposedly some cross-over, but the 1975 mint and proof sets confirm this as what is expected.

Hopefully our country will still be around in 10 years for the 250th Sestercentennial. Maybe it will teach the last few generations about history and what it took to become a country. But the way things are going I wouldn't be surprised to see the government to shut down a 2026 Sestercentennial coin and national educational program. They want to keep the public to keep voting for the handouts that feed them with no obligation of any paying it back or positive contribution to society.
