<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Collecting Nut, post: 3198175, member: 74863&quot;]The Bicentennial was a huge event. Much larger than the next event, the year 2000. So many items were made for the 1976 celebration you could collect them your entire life and never get close. </p><p><br /></p><p>It was after all, the 200th anniversary of the nation. Due to the day the law authorizing the change in coinage was signed, the time it takes to design, agree on the design and make the dies, 1975 was half over. So no quarters, half dollars or Ike dollars were produced. There was enough coin in change to hold out.</p><p><br /></p><p>In mid 1975 the Bicentennial coinage was being produced and production didn&#039;t stop until the end of 1976. This coinage, especially quarters, were so highly produced it&#039;s not uncommon to find them in change today.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
