Washington Quarter Roll 1976-S Proof Silver

After 1964, the US Mint stopped using silver in all of its coins, but instead used a copper/nickel alloy. For the country's bicentennial, the US Mint used 90% silver in its coins, including the 1976-S Silver Proof Washington Quarter. The San Francisco Mint produced a little over 4 million Silver Proof Washington Quarters in 1976. The 1976-S Silver Proof Washington Quarter Roll contains 40 quarters in perfect proof condition and comes packaged in a plastic coin tube.

The San Francisco Mint also holds a large amount of history, since it still produces coins currently. When the California Gold Rushes were happening, the US needed a mint on the West-Coast to help turn the gold into coins. The San Francisco Mint was the solution and outgrew its first building in just the first year of production. Among all of the mints that have come and gone, the San Francisco Mint has always upheld its reputation of high quality control and strong strikes. Along with the Denver Mint, the San Francisco Mint is known for keeping its mintages low for popular coin series, like the Proof Washington Quarters.
