This 1976 Bicentennial Washington Quarter is a extremely rare find for collectors, with eight or more errors including Overstrike, Off Center Strike (misaligned by 24%) with noticeable outlines of 3 of the stars representing original colonies and an outline of the Victory Torch in the field to the left of the colonial patriot drummers hat. I traced the misaligned designs on a transparent sheet and placed it on top of dominant overstrike design to find it a near perfect match and this can be seen in pictures 3-5. Picture 6 highlights the field to the right under the brim of the drummers hat I noticed what I first read as 1976 which is the Bicentennial year. Realizing that there is no date on the coins reverse pictures 7 and 8 is my attempt to trace the entire reverse of the quarter so that I could figure out what part of the bust I have mistaken for numerals 1976. It turned out to be the drummers shirt collar and vest. The full coin trace brought to light the huge amount of overlapping of design relief and that it has resulted in flattened portions of lettering. The drummer also appears to have an extra finger on his right hand and I can't put together a scenario that would cause this result. Also noticeable where the coins rim on the edge of the Off Center Strike flattened parts of the lettering in the word United and the two letters farthest left in the Latin phrase which I have posted (picture 9). Evidence of  DDO, and DDR are present on the rims, bust, motto and date so basically all over the obverse and reverse of this coin. The letters A and M in the word America are touching which is shown in picture. The coin is in circulated condition with an XF grade. I was taken by surprise to find a partial coin rim mark that sliced through "IN GOD WE TRUST" remains  from an Off Center Strike which can be seen in pictures 11 and 12. The obverse misaligned coin rim mark didn't match the rim mark from the reverse of the coin which says to me that these are 2 separate OCS's. Both OCS's were in the northern quadrants of the obverse and reverse, so how does a coin get struck 3 times? The difference is that I can't find landmarks that will help confirm an obverse OCS on this coin. Upon final inspection of the obverse I inspected the coin under a strong light and in the exact spot the mint mark should be is a tiny spot that reflects light much more than the rest of this Quarter. I then inspected that spot under magnification and at different angles that tiny spot reflects a small D that appears to be below the surface of the coin. My guess is that the multiple strikes that this coin may have received somehow flattened the D mint mark out of sight yet at certain angles and under magnification this possible mint mark can be viewed when you find that certain angle. The collector that gets to witness the D mint mark reflect light from beneath the surface of this truly unique coin for the first time will most likely be almost as stumped as I was. I know that I listed this Quarter with no mint mark as an error but I felt that i should disclose my discoveries and I would say that a crushed D beats a filled D, or no mint mark all day and is probably much RARER. So buy my coin and see for yourself how and tell me how rare you think it is.  I still have a lot of questions with regards to this Quarter hoping that the next owner fortunate enough to add this to their collection dives deeper and enlightens me with some answers to the story behind this Bicentennial Quarter.

This Uncertified coins condition was graded verbally in person as a mid range XF and would not comment on errors as she was only trained in the grading of fine coins. I've never seen so many errors on a coin and enjoyed it in my collection for decades and now is your opportunity to possess this very unique and rare piece of American history!
