The world of numismatics, or coin collecting, often reveals astonishing treasures hidden in plain sight.
Recently, a Bicentennial Quarter has made headlines with its staggering value of nearly $90 million. Additionally, two other coins have been appraised at over $30 million each.
This article delves into the stories behind these extraordinary coins and what makes them so valuable.
These coins were distinguished by unique designs celebrating America's founding.
The quarter, for instance, features a special reverse design depicting a Colonial drummer with a victory torch encircled by 13 stars representing the original colonies.
While millions of these quarters were produced and are generally common, one particular Bicentennial Quarter stands out.
The coin is made from 90% silver, unlike the typical copper-nickel composition used for most circulating coins.
