Question
There was a question about this coin with 2drummer and a flutist , I have one of these from a bi-centenial celebration in Spirit Lake,Ia in 1976. I also have another from the same celebration with the Liberty Bell on it. I couldn't find any place about silver because i believe it is bronze.Can't send picture or I would.

Answer
Hi Tom,
What is your question?
The 1976 Bicentennial quarter was a one year issue and still only worth 25 cents unless it is one of the silver issues that would bear the "S" mintmark by the date.
As for your bronze medal, I have no clue who would have made that or the value.
I hope this helped you.

Regards
