The United States Bicentennial quarter, minted in 1975 and 1976 to celebrate the nation's 200th anniversary, is a notable example.
Among these quarters, a few have emerged as exceptionally valuable due to unique errors and historical significance.
This article explores one such Bicentennial quarter worth nearly $60 million and three more coins that have each surpassed $20 million in value.
The most famous and valuable Bicentennial quarter was discovered in a private collection in 2023.
This quarter, struck on a silver planchet instead of the standard copper-nickel clad composition, boasts an astonishing value of nearly $60 million.
The coin features a double die obverse, where the design elements appear doubled due to a minting error.
This error, combined with the rare silver composition, makes it one of the most sought-after coins among collectors.
