Washington Quarter Roll 1976-S Proof

The San Francisco Mint helped produce some of the most popular coin collections in history, including the Washington Quarters. This West Coast-based mint was first established in order to supply a place gold miners could sell their gold. It ended up being a very lucrative business, turning out $4 million dollars of gold in its first year. It quickly outgrew its first building and moved to the Granite Lady building, where it withheld its structure during the 1906 San Francisco earthquake. The building wasn't actually made of granite, just the basement was but the name was used for marketing and stuck. In 1937, it moved to its final facility that is still the San Fran Mint today.

Although the 1976-S Proof Washington Quarter contains a mintage of 4 million, this mintage does not reflect how many coins were actually circulated and/or melted. The 1976-S Proof Washington Quarter is comprised of a copper/nickel alloy and is easy to find. There are 40 quarters in a roll and are packaged in a plastic coin tube.
