Bicentennial Silver
Where have all the 1975 quarters gone?
My brother is trying to collect at least one U.S. Quarter minted in each year, in addition to collecting all the State Quarters. So far, he has everything going back to 1965, except for 1975. Now, before ’65, Quarters were silver and are mostly snatched up when they’re found, but I can’t think of a reason ’75 quarters are so hard to come by.
Since he started collecting, I’ve aided him in his quest. I estimate I’ve gone through an entire roll of 1976 quarters (highly popular – the Bicentennial Quarters feature a Revolutionary drummer on the back and the dates 1776-1976). Additionally, I’ve probably gone through about $100 in 1965 quarters (easily the most common single year – probably the Mint’s idea to pull all the older Silver back before anyone noticed).
So, have you seen one? Any ideas where they went?
1965 is a common coin due to it’s mintage and date freeze back then.1,819,717,540 were struck. Now for 1975, there are none. The mint had special permission from Congress to mint the 1776-1976 quarters in 1975 as well as 1976. There are no 1975 1/2 dollars either. You can stop looking for a coin that does not exist.
