For the purpose of referencing the coins by the op, below are pix of the bicentennial quarter I got in the quarter machine at the carwash a few years ago. Why would there be a difference? They are both "S" proofs.</p><p> </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1302341[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1302342[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
