Before the 50 State Quarters program began in 1999, coin collectors of the late 20th century sought the 1776-1976 Bicentennial quarter. Struck in 1975 and 1976 and dual-dated 1776-1976 to honor our nation’s 200th birthday, the Bicentennial quarter features a special reverse design celebrating the signing of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776.
