Coin Commemorative Quarter Appraisal

United States Bicentennial Quarter (1776-1976)

The item is a United States quarter coin, specifically a Bicentennial issue, featuring George Washington on the obverse. The coin is circular and appears to be made of a silver-colored metallic alloy, consistent with the copper-nickel clad composition of standard circulating US quarters from this era. The obverse prominently displays the left-facing profile of George Washington. Above his head, the word "LIBERTY" is visible, with the 'L' and 'I' clearly discernible. To the left of his portrait, the motto "IN GOD WE TRUST" is partially visible. Below the bust, the dual date "1776-1976" is clearly inscribed, indicating its Bicentennial commemorative status. The coin exhibits a somewhat dull, circulated finish, suggesting it has been in regular use. There are no obvious major gouges, bends, or severe damage, but typical wear from circulation, such as minor scratches and a softened relief on the higher points of the design, can be anticipated, though precise details are obscured by the image quality. The edges of the coin would typically be reeded, but this is not visible in the provided image. No distinct mint mark is discernible from this view, nor are any unique or unusual characteristics beyond its commemorative dating. The craftsmanship is that typical of US Mint coinage, designed for mass production and durability in commerce. The item is likely from the Modern Era of coinage, given its 1976 date.
