In the world of numismatics, few coins capture the imagination and excitement of collectors quite like the rare and valuable Bicentennial quarters.
Alongside this extraordinary piece, there are three other Bicentennial quarters worth over $300,000 each, making these coins some of the most coveted and valuable in the collecting community.
The 1976 Bicentennial quarter was minted to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the United States' Declaration of Independence.
The vast majority of these quarters were struck in copper-nickel, but a small number were minted in 40% silver for collectors.
The specific quarter valued at nearly $40 million is not just any Bicentennial quarter.
The extraordinary value of this quarter is attributed to its unique error, exceptional condition, and the historical significance of the Bicentennial series.
Dimes are a staple of American currency, yet some have achieved extraordinary value due to their rarity and historical significance.
