samuel tan Valued Member United States 322 Posts	Posted 04/20/2011 02:03 am Somebody advertise in ebay Bicentennial Silver Set 40% silver. I know that Dollar and Half are 40% silver, but I didn't know if there is any 40% Quarter. In Red Book, it says many of S silver mint were melted in 1982. It shows one regular and one proof 1976 S mints, which one were melted? Or may be both? Is that carry premium since it become rare? Can somebody help me to answer these questions? Thanks Report this Post to the Staff

BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 04/20/2011 02:54 am The 1976-S Bicentennial Silver Quarter is the only U.S. Quarter Dollar ever struck in 40% silver. They are not rare or scarce at all and are usually valued at melt unless certified in an ultra-high grade. The proofs do carry a slight premium over the business strikes and there is no concern about the number melted. These were collector pieces and many millions remain.

lorax Valued Member United States 162 Posts	Posted 04/20/2011 08:08 am These coins are a forgotten gem, they look real nice and no one seems to pay them any attention. I agree with BH, they generally sell for the silver value, no real premium. Report this Post to the Staff
Bryan1315 Bedrock of the Community United States 14454 Posts	Posted 04/20/2011 3:59 pm as was stared above all 3 coins are 40% silver in this set. I have a few of the proof versions and the BU sets that came in the envelope and in both sets the coins were made of silver. I actually broke open one set of silver BU coins to include in my type set album. They are not rare by any stretch of the imagination but they do carry a premium over spot price just because of what they are (I think these are the only Bicentennial coins that actually are worth anything) Report this Post to the Staff
