Does the coin by chance say 1776-1976? And have a picture of President Kennedy? If so, it's still worth 50 cents. The first US mint in Philadelphia didn't begin production until 1793.
None of the bicentennial coins made for general circulation contain any silver or are worth more than face value. Only Proof and collectors coins sold from the US Mint are worth more.
I don't think they had dollar coins back then.MoreThe coin is almost certainly a fantasy piece or even a fake. The US didn't strike any gold coins until 1795; the first $20 gold coins were minted until 1849 and the first circulating ones were dated 1850.
Bicentennial, not centennial. 1776-1976 is two hundred years. Bicentennial commemoratives have the Liberty Bell and moon in their design. Other dates have an image of the eagle landing on the moon. In circulated condition these coins are interesting curiosities but have no extra value. Uncirculated copper-nickel ones are worth about $2. Uncirculated 40% silver Bicentennial dollars are in the $7-8 range.
Take a look at the coin's date. It says 1776-1976, indicating it was minted for the U.S. Bicentennial celebrations. However, SO many of these coins were made that anything found in circulation is still only worth 50¢. If you're lucky enough to have a proof coin in its original package it would be worth a few bucks.
Either not Kennedy or not a dollar. Please look at the denomination on the back.
It's probably dated 1776-1976, with a drummer boy on the back. It's worth 25 cents.
The face value of a 1976 Bicentennial half dollar is fifty cents.To clear things up:- The date is 1776-1976. These coins were struck in both 1975 and 1976 to honor the Bicentennial. All carry the same dual date.- ALL Kennedy halves have JFK's portrait, that's why they're called Kennedy halves, LOL!- Coins are said to be struck or minted, not "stamped"- The front of the coin is called the "obverse". That's the "heads" side for American coins so you would expect the portrait to be there. The back is called the "reverse"Those items out of the way, there were so many of these coins minted and saved that anything you find in circulation will only be worth 50 cents. If the coin is in uncirculated or proof condition it might be worth a couple of bucks.
The US was not a country back then so there were no 1634 US coins.

If the two dates are 1776 & 1976 It's a bicentennial quarter and it's still worth a quarter If it's a state or territorial quarter, has two dates on the back and one of them is between 1999 and 2009 it's also just worth a quarter. If it has two heads with a date on each side it's a magician's coin - see the Related Question.
They're wheat stalks, not "fethers" - and the word is FEATHERS, in any case. Wheat-back cents from the 1940s and 1950s are generally pretty common and are only worth a few cents in circulated condition. Older coins can be worth more, depending on their dates what what mint mark letter, if any, is under the date.
For U.S. bicentennial quarters, half-dollars, and dollars, the denomination is on the back of the coin. Whatever you have, it's worth face value.
