Thanks I was really happy to find these! Believe it or not they were actually pulled from a normal circulated quarter box picked up at a bank. I'm almost certain they were from someone's collection since I very rarely see Philly minted AU/MS bicentennials pop up near Denver let alone 3 in the same box. In addition, there was also a Denver example with a significant die crack on the reverse as well. I'll post that below.
I always feel bad thinking someone collected these and preserved them for decades only to have them tossed back into circulation. That said, I'm at least glad I could pull them back out of circulation before they got too beat up.
Oh and good call about the Struck Through Grease note. After taking a second look I think you're right, It even distorts the face a bit.
PS. I apologize for posting pictures of different coins but I didn't think it warranted a whole other post. Here's the 1976 D die crack:
