Ahr featuring a colonial drummer and a victory torch surrounded by 13 stars. These coins, dated 1776–1976, were minted in 1975 and 1976, with over 1.6 billion produced.

Key Features and Varieties:

Obverse: Features the standard John Flanagan portrait of George Washington, but with the dual date "1776–1976".

Reverse: A colonial drummer holding a drumstick in one hand and a torch in the other, with 13 stars circling above, symbolizing the original colonies.

Composition: Most are copper-nickel clad, but some 1976-S coins were produced for collectors in a 40% silver-clad composition.

Mint Marks: Philadelphia (no mint mark), Denver (D), and San Francisco (S).

Notable Errors: 1976-S Proofs and various double die errors (e.g., FS-101) are highly sought by collectors.
