[dan92729985]

Hello , I would like more information on this coin, if possible thank you. I believe it to be great condition , filled “D” mark , and ODD in “In God We Trust”. Just wondering what something like this is worth?

    Welcome to the NGC chat board.

    The "Coin Marketplace" forum is devoted to offers to buy and sell coins. Your topic would receive better attention in the "Newbie Coin Collecting Questions" forum.

    To make a proper evaluation, we would need much better images of your coin that are clear and cropped to eliminate as much as possible the surface surrounding the coin. Moreover, if you think a coin has collector value, you should not touch it with your bare hands, except for holding it by the edge if you must. 

     The 1976-D Bicentennial quarter is an abundantly common coin with a mintage of over 860 million pieces. Many of them were saved in uncirculated condition, which your coin is clearly not. Based on the current photos, which I magnified as much as possible, it exhibits no mint error.  A fully or partially filled "D" mintmark is quite common on coins of that era, and the coin appears to have a normal "G" in "God".

    The following article recently posted by a leading coin dealer is pertinent to your query: Jeff Garrett: Fake News and Misinformation in Numismatics | NGC (ngccoin.com).

It is worth 25 cents.     
The filled in mm is called a broken post, common on D and P mint marks.    
Please crop your photos in the future and put the coin on a flat surface.

Is it worth getting graded?

Welcome to the forum, your question has already been answered by member greenstang; no coin worth 25 cents is worth paying $40 to have graded.

    This is what we mean by "cropped" photos, which you should be able to create with the photo editing software on your computer or other device:

 

Images taken closer or with better resolution would have been better, but these are adequate to tell that the coin does not exhibit a mint error, is circulated, and has damage on Washington's face.  It is collectible as a souvenir but only worth face value, as others have stated.
