This particular coin, valued at almost $100 million, with individual pieces worth over $40 million each, has become a sensation in the coin-collecting community.
But what makes this quarter so special, and why has it garnered such an astronomical value?
The bicentennial quarter was minted in 1975 and 1976 to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the United States' independence.
Unlike regular quarters, which feature George Washington on the obverse and an eagle on the reverse, the bicentennial quarter has a unique design.
The uncommon bicentennial quarters in question possess several unique characteristics that set them apart from their more common counterparts.
Additionally, some of these quarters were minted on silver planchets instead of the standard copper-nickel clad composition, adding to their rarity and desirability.
