Rarity Factors and Value Drivers
The condition of 1976 Quarters significantly impacts their value, especially for circulation strikes. Uncirculated examples with full luster and minimal contact marks command premium prices. For circulation strikes, coins in MS65 and above are particularly desirable.
Proof coins are valued based on the quality of the strike, the depth of the mirrored fields, and the absence of any imperfections. Cameo and Deep Cameo contrasts between the frosted devices and mirrored fields can add substantial value to proof specimens.

3. Toning: Natural, attractive toning can enhance the value, particularly for uncirculated and proof coins.
4. Full Steps: For uncirculated coins, those with fully defined steps on the Capitol building (on the reverse) are more valuable.
5. Set completion: Many collectors seek these quarters as part of complete bicentennial sets, potentially increasing demand.
