Some of particular interest are known as Bicentennial quarters, an iconic special edition coin series minted in 1976, the 200th anniversary of the United States’ founding.

一些特別感興趣的人被稱為雙百年季度，這是一個標誌性的特別版硬幣系列，於1976年鑄造，是美國成立200週年。

Like most quarters, the Bicentennial coin features the head of George Washington on one side, but instead of the eagle featured on the reverse side of most quarters minted in that era, it has a picture of a Revolutionary soldier drumming.

Some of the coins were made by being “clad,” a process the U.S. Mint explains as having an inner core of metal surrounded by an outer layer of a different metal.

But others — the ones more valuable today — were made with 40% silver.

Values of these coins in mint condition can be tens of dollars, while those in the most perfect condition can fetch thousands or even tens of thousands, Chronicle Collectibles reports.

據Chronicle Collectibles報導，這些硬幣處於薄荷狀態的價值可能是數十美元，而處於最佳狀態的硬幣可以拿到數千甚至數万美元。

Bicentennial quarters were minted in three different places — Philadelphia, Denver and San Francisco — and are labeled with a “P,” “D,” or “S” to indicate where.

在費城，丹佛和舊金山的三個不同的地方鑄造了雙百年季度，並標有“ p”，“ d”或“ s”標籤，以指示哪裡。

The rarer silver-based coins were minted in San Francisco, and have an “S” on them. These coins also have a more golden color and are slightly heavier than the clad versions.

稀有的銀幣在舊金山鑄造了，上面有一個“ S”。這些硬幣還具有更金色的色彩，並且比外殼版本更重。

The average value of a 1976-S silver quarter in very good condition is $95, but the auction record for such a quarter was $19,200 in 2019.

1976-S銀季度狀況良好的平均價值為95美元，但該季度的拍賣記錄在2019年為19,200美元。

Other versions of the Bicentennial quarter have also sold for thousands at auction. A clad Philadelphia Bicentennial quarter, the most common, and usually with no letter on it, once sold for about $1,200 in 2022. A Denver “D” Bicentennial quarter, also clad, was sold for over $6,400 in 2017.

兩百年季度的其他版本也在拍賣會上售出了數千個版本。一個最常見的費城比百年紀念季度，通常沒有信件，曾經在2022年以1200美元的價格售出。丹佛“ D”二百週年季度（也包含）也包含在2017年的6,400美元以上。
