As I know very little about coins of the United States, I figured this would be the best place to ask. The obverse has the head of George Washington with dates 1776-1976 underneath and the reverse has a drummer and a flame surrounded with stars. Any help determining what he has would be greatly appreciated. Report this Post to the Staff

The quarters are very common with almost 1.7 billion business strikes minted. Report this Post to the Staff

You will find bicentennial quarters in circulation over here in the states but they are commonly hoarded for their uniqueness. The united states also had a bicentennial 50 cent piece and dollar coin as well, something I found out only about 14 months ago when I started collecting. Report this Post to the Staff

As was already said the quarters arean't worth anything more than face value and we still find allot of them in change because so many was minted and allot were hoarded also because of the design change so they can be found in change in pretty good condition Report this Post to the Staff
