[QUOTE="Spark1951, post: 24619244, member: 90692"]Welcome to Coin Talk!…Here are some facts about your Bicentennial quarters: First, because it was the Bicentennial, everybody and their entire clan saved these. Yours have no mint mark so they were minted in Philadelphia. The Mint started striking them in 1975 and kept striking them for [B]2 years.[/B] 809.78 [B]million[/B] were made. Denver made over 806 [B]million[/B] and San Francisco made even more but these were [B]silver. [/B] Your coins both show evidence of circulation, which means they are less than MS60 grade wise. [I][B]At MS60[/B][/I], NGC lists them as valued at $1.50 USD each. I have been informed by more knowledgable members ( [USER=73995]@Pickin and Grinin[/USER] ) that this listed value is inflated beyond market norms, so $1.00 USD may be closer to reality. Years from now their value will appreciate but the demand for them may take longer…imo…Spark[/QUOTE]
