Recently, a Bicentennial quarter, minted in 1976 to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the United States' independence, has taken the spotlight.
This particular quarter, worth nearly $28 million USD, stands as a testament to the enduring value and fascination with historical currency.
Alongside this extraordinary find, four other rare quarters have fetched prices exceeding $750,000, underscoring the lucrative and captivating nature of coin collecting.
The Bicentennial quarter, featuring a special design by Jack L. Ahr, depicts a colonial drummer on the reverse side and the dual date "1776–1976" on the obverse.
While millions of these quarters were minted, the value of this specific coin lies in its unique minting error and impeccable condition.
Discovered in an old coin collection, this quarter boasts a striking error—an off-center strike and a doubled die obverse.
Moreover, the coin's pristine condition, graded MS-68 by the Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS), adds to its allure.
