    Yeah the clad Bicentennials halves are EVERYWHERE in the bank rolls. Between them, the 1971s, the 1972s, and the 1974s, they blatantly overwhelm the series

    Does anyone know if it is at all possible to remove the spots on the 76 three piece proof set?

    Cheers,

    That depends on what kind of spots they are. It also depends on whether or not you would consider the result of the removal of those spots as being worse than the spots themselves.

    For example, spots caused by toning can be removed with a commercial coin dip. But then the luster is impaired as a result of the dip. Milk spots on the other hand cannot be removed.

    That gallon bucket most likely contains several hundred dollars worth of quarters, maybe more. If those coins are well circulated they will most likely never be worth more then face value. You should advise your father to exchange those coins for at least the bicentennial silvers, uncirculated and proofs. At least he'll have something that will or should increase in value over the years and will still commemorate our 200 hundred years of independence. Just a thought. It's what I would do, but I'm a crazy collector.

    Keep on Collecting!!
