I wanted to share this discovery to you guys , in hopes to validate my perspective of this being an error of some sort. All opinions are welcome..

This is a Bicentennial 1776-1976 S / Clad..

    No discovery and no error.

    Not an error.
    Looks like someone has counterpunched a regular quarter with a S punch
    to make it look like a 1976S proof quarter.
    It would now be considered damage and worth 25 cents.

    It's just a regular strike 1976-S silver clad quarter. They were sold in sets with the half dollar and dollar coins.

    @ltorr201 it would be helpful in the future if you would explain what you see and why you think you see an error, that way everyone doesn't have to guess. I see nothing out of the ordinary with the mintmark, assuming that is what you are asking about.

    It's a regular coin with the "Blob S" mintmark.

    Your photography is very good. Now, why don't you guess what I am thinking without me giving you much direction...

    You're thinking that there is a 90 degree rotation error on the "second coin".
