Bicentennial Set Appraisal

United States Bicentennial Coinage Set (1776-1976)

This item is a commemorative set of United States Bicentennial coinage, explicitly dated 1776-1976. The set is encased in a clear acrylic or plastic protective holder, which is mounted on a dark, likely cardboard or heavy cardstock, display card. The display card features gold-colored text that reads "UNITED STATES BICENTENNIAL COINAGE 1776 - 1976" at the top, and in a more decorative script, "200 Years of Liberty" at the bottom. The set contains three distinct coins, all appearing to have a uniform golden or brassy metallic luster, suggesting they are either uncirculated or proof examples, or possibly clad in a particular finish. From left to right, the coins are: a Bicentennial Quarter with George Washington on the obverse and the dual date '1776-1976' below, a Bicentennial Half Dollar featuring John F. Kennedy on the obverse with 'IN GOD WE TRUST' and '1776-1976' below, and a Bicentennial Dollar coin, likely the Eisenhower Dollar, with its distinct obverse portrait and the dual date '1776-1976'. All coins are oriented to show their obverse sides. The protective casing appears to be in good condition with minor surface dust or smudges visible, but no obvious cracks or severe damage. The coins themselves exhibit a high degree of luster with no visible signs of wear, scratches, or toning, suggesting they have been well-preserved within their sealed environment. This set was issued to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence of the United States. The craftsmanship appears standard for U.S. Mint commemorative sets of this era, focusing on presentation and preservation.
