Just thought an earlier post said otherwise. Thanks!

 

That is correct according to coinfacts.com.

 

I just purchased a silver '76 proof quarter. It was a good value as well.

 

There were no 40% silver San Francisco Mint bicentennial quarters struck for general circulation. All of the 40% bicentennial silver quarters with an S mint mark were placed in special three piece uncirculated and proof sets consisting of the quarter, half, and dollar for collectors.

The San Francisco Mint also struck copper-nickel clad 1776-1976 dated six piece proof sets consisting of the cent through dollar.

Any 1968 and newer S mint coins found in circulation were broken out of their original government packaging and spent.

The only circulating 40% silver coins were the half dollars of 1965 to 1969, the 1970-D was only available in mint sets.
