Like modern coins, this one is still pretty much worth its face value: 25 cents. It remains in general circulation.

There are many dubious sellers of expensive Bicentennial quarters online, claiming that no mint mark or a filled in D on the mint mark are somehow special. Both the Philadelphia and West Point mints produced 1976 quarters with no mint marks, so only Denver quarters can be distinguished from the others…and the D is so small that normal wear often makes it look flat.

We used to call these “Drummer Boy Quarters,” as if they had something to with Christmas. The colonial drummer design was the result of a nationwide competition.

History, links, and additional info:

Available resources about the history of the manufacturer and/or origin and the item.

Just like the specially produced dollar and half dollar, there are no 1975 quarters because the Bicentennial production run spanned two years.
