It was part of a set of 50 1976-dated cents stamped with a state outline and the two-letter state abbreviation sold as a Bicentennial gimmick. Got spent.

Now I want them all
I did!
Those sets were all over the place when I was a kid. I started collecting in 1976.
Neat find.
You can sort of think of these as the prototype Statehood quarters of their day.
I think there were ads for them in publications like TV Guide and such.
Collector since 1976. On the CU forums here since 2001.
