So like the topic leads us to the question are they worth grading or accepting the facts that the best have been found many years ago? I have many and was curious what the expert opinions are :) Hope everyone is having a great day Thanks all Ps ty for moving it I missed the sub forums until it posted   *** Moved by Staff moved to a more appropriate forum. *** Edited by SlickCoin

Tough to see the coin's surfaces through the cello package.

There are two big challenges with bicentennial quarters, as I see it. First, everyone back in 1976 felt they were special, so many, many, many pristine versions were saved immediately upon reaching circulation. Second, the Mint ran those dies super hard. There are large numbers of poorly struck bicentennial quarters. Melting lettering, incomplete drum rim, broken post D marks, you name it.
Edit: I see you added more details to explain the error.

Ironically, my best ever find in circulation (customer-wrapped quarter roll) was this bicentennial quarter:   |

I think I understand, the more detail of everything the better correct?
I bought a third party one ms-68 UNC And the drum is like running down

I'm leaning towards they both have wrapped damage on the reverse of the coins, maybe a tad on the front top one

too many photos in this thread. I have no idea if they are the same coin or multiple coins. one coin per thread, take coins out of holders, do not use overhead lighting as it creates too much glare which obscures the surfaces one thing I can say regarding sending these in is if you look at the ebay sales on these the only ones that are selling are MS67 or better. the chance you found a 67 in circulation is pretty much zip. if you never sent a coin in for grading, using PCGS as an example, you can expect a $69 subscription fee plus the lowest level grading fee of $23 plus shipping and ins both ways. the coin needs to have a fairly high value to make that worth the cost of around $100 |
