United States Bicentennial Quarter (Reverse)

This item is a 1776-1976 United States Bicentennial Quarter Dollar, specifically showing the reverse side featuring a colonial drummer. Produced to celebrate the 200th anniversary of American independence, this coin is struck in a copper-nickel clad composition, consisting of a pure copper core with an outer layer of 75% copper and 25% nickel. Physically, the coin is approximately 24.26 mm in diameter with a reeded edge. The reverse design, created by Jack L. Ahr, showcases a revolutionary-era drummer facing left next to a victory torch encircled by thirteen stars, representing the original colonies. The inscriptions "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA," "E PLURIBUS UNUM," and "QUARTER DOLLAR" are clearly visible. Regarding condition, the coin shows moderate signs of circulation wear, particularly visible on the high points of the drummer's chest and the drum. The surface exhibits a dull, slightly oxidized patina with minor scuffing and small contact marks typical for a coin in 'Very Fine' to 'Extra Fine' condition. There are no obvious mint marks on this side, as that would be located on the obverse. This specific commemorative design was only minted during 1975 and 1976.
