History

During 1975 and 1976, millions of bicentennial coins were issued by the United States Mint. These included the standard copper-nickel coins for circulation, as well as special 40% silver-clad proof sets for collectors to enjoy. While the coins were minted in two separate years, they do not indicate whether they are from 75 or 76. Rather, each coin displays the same 1776-1976 double date in recognition of the bicentennial.
