1776-1976 Bicentennial Coinage 200 Years of Liberty ~ Set includes a Dollar, Half Dollar, & Quarter

Bicentennial coinage refers to a series of special coins issued by the United States Mint in 1976 to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. These coins were minted in both silver and copper-nickel compositions and included the quarter, half dollar, and dollar denominations.

The designs of the coins featured various patriotic symbols and historical figures, such as the Liberty Bell, Independence Hall, and portraits of Thomas Jefferson and John F. Kennedy. They were highly popular among collectors and the general public and were widely circulated during the bicentennial celebrations.

The bicentennial quarter, also known as the "drummer quarter," depicted a colonial drummer on its reverse side, while the bicentennial half dollar showed the Liberty Bell and the moon. The bicentennial dollar coin featured a depiction of Independence Hall.

These coins were different from regular circulating coins at the time, with a unique design to mark the special occasion. Today, bicentennial coins are sought after by collectors, and some may have numismatic value depending on their condition and rarity.
