Among the Proof Quarters of the 1870's, the 1876 is the third most common. Only the 1874 With Arrows and 1879 Quarters have larger populations in Proof. This ready supply makes the 1876 Quarter a great choice for type collectors because of the availability of most grades up to, and including PR67. In general, Proofs of this year are well-made and often come with exceptional eye appeal.

Cameo examples represent slightly more than a fifth of the total population and Deep Cameos are only a tiny fraction. The best example (and the holder of the price record for this date) is the NGC PR68* from the Eric P. Newman Collection.

Grades	Survival Estimate The Survival Estimate represents an average of one or more experts opinions as to how many examples survive of a particular coin in three categories: 1) all grades, 2) 60 or better, and 3) 65 or better. These estimates are based on a variety of sources, including population reports, auction appearances, and personal knowledge. Survival estimates include coins that are raw, certified by PCGS, and certified by other grading services.
