The special 40% silver 1976 Bicentennial Mint Set is a key addition to any collection of U.S. Mint Coin Sets.  It includes one-time-only Quarter, Half Dollar, and Dollar designs celebrating the 200th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence.  The Dollar‘s reverse shows the Liberty Bell superimposed on the moon.  The Half Dollar depicts Independence Hall in Philadelphia and the Quarter reverse features a Colonial drummer facing left, with a victory torch encircled by thirteen stars at the upper left.

In October of 1973, the Treasury announced an open contest for the selection of suitable designs for the Bicentennial reverses of these coins.  Nearly a thousand entries were submitted.  The Bicentennial coins were the first commemorative Quarter, Half Dollar, and Dollar ever issued for circulation and featured the dual dates “1776-1976” on the obverse.

All coins are Brilliant Uncirculated condition and are in the original U.S. Mint packaging.  Each year, the U.S. Mint releases special “Mint Sets” to collectors.  These are limited edition collections of the year’s circulating coins.  They are the highest quality Uncirculated coins, and the clear plastic packaging allows them to be examined safely.
