1976 Bicentennial quarter value guide -- mintage, specs, and why the clad version is worth face value.
Condition drives the price — full breakdown below.
Note: a full grade-by-grade breakdown for this coin is still being compiled.
809,784,016 struck — against the other key dates in the Bicentennial Quarter series.
Bars are scaled to keep the smallest mintages visible; the exact figure is printed on every row. Mintage is coins struck, not coins surviving — melting and circulation wear thin those numbers further.
With over 809 million struck at Philadelphia alone, this is one of the most common U.S. coins ever minted -- it is still regularly found in circulation and carries essentially no premium over face value.
Two reverse die varieties exist (Type 1, bolder lettering vs. Type 2, sharper lettering), but neither commands a meaningful premium in the clad composition -- only the 40% silver version below does.

Other dates and varieties in this series
What to check before you pay, specific to this date and its 809,784,016-coin mintage.
Two examples of this date can be worth very different amounts depending on wear. Work out where an example sits on the range above before deciding whether its asking price is fair, and ask the seller for more photos if the wear points aren't clear.
Grading fees would eat much of what this coin is worth, so raw examples are normal here and nothing to be wary of. Judge it on clear photos of both sides and the seller's track record instead.
Every Bicentennial Quarter listed here is priced by an individual seller, so the same coin in the same grade can differ by a wide margin on any given day. Sort by price, check Metal Points and order history for a sense of the seller's record, and message them if the photos don't show enough to grade confidently.
