In the numismatic world, certain coins hold immense value not only for their age and rarity but also for their unique features and historical significance.
This article explores the fascinating story behind this quarter and delves into three other quarters worth over $250,000 each.
The 1976 Bicentennial quarter was minted to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the United States' independence.
Featuring a special reverse design by Jack L. Ahr, the coin depicts a colonial drummer boy and a victory torch encircled by 13 stars, symbolizing the original colonies.
This quarter is distinctive not only for its design but also for the dual date "1776-1976" inscribed on it.
Among the millions of Bicentennial quarters produced, one stands out as exceptionally rare and valuable.
A 1962 Proof Washington quarter, if in its original packaging (with its proof set), can range in value from $8 to $12 or more, depending on its condition and the current collector market.
