"1975" Washington fantasy issue, 40% Silver, Bicentennial Reverse, CIRCULATED finish, only 39 produced

Circulated finish. Some evidence of underlying host coin design will likely show somewhere, such as apparent doubling of some details. Housed in a non-PVC "flip" holder with certificate.

The US Mint produced Washington quarters from 1932 to present. But none were issued with "1975" dates because the "1776-1976" Bicentennial coins were minted during the 1975 and 1976 calendar years. These are over-struck on genuine 1976 40% silver clad Bicentennial Washington Quarters, they have the correct weight (no metal is added or removed), and correct metallic content (no heating or melting is performed). All the over-strikes are privately and carefully performed using a surplus Denver Mint coin press.

NOTE: Defacing of US coins is legal so long as the defacement isn't for fraudulent purposes.

By purchasing one or more of these coins, the buyer agrees to provide full disclosure of their origin when reselling them. Failure to provide potential buyers with complete and accurate information when offering these coins could result in criminal and/or civil fraud charges. In other words, don't even think about trying to sell these to unaware buyers as original 1975 Washington quarters !

The pictures accurately show what the coins look like. No photo editing was performed. There may be subtle differences between coins. Since they are over-struck on existing coins, there may be faint evidence of the original coin design showing since the overstrike is usually not perfectly aligned with the original strike. Do not attempt to use these as legal tender.
