These special quarters, minted to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the United States in 1976, have become highly sought-after collectibles.
In particular, five rare Bicentennial quarters have recently been highlighted for their extraordinary value, collectively worth up to $165,000.
Let’s delve into the fascinating details of these quarters and what makes them so valuable.
In 1976, the United States Mint released special quarters, half dollars, and dollar coins to commemorate the nation’s Bicentennial.
Over 1.6 billion Bicentennial quarters were struck for circulation, along with additional special issues for collectors.
While most Bicentennial quarters are worth only face value, a select few have gained significant worth due to their rarity and unique characteristics.
