One such intriguing story revolves around the rare Bicentennial Quarter, a coin that has captured the imagination of collectors and historians alike.
With an estimated value of about $80 million, and worth over $20 million USD, this coin's journey through history is nothing short of remarkable.
The Bicentennial Quarter was minted in 1975 and 1976 to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the United States' Declaration of Independence.
Instead of the traditional eagle, the reverse depicted a Colonial drummer with a victory torch encircled by 13 stars, representing the original colonies.
While millions of these quarters were minted and are still in circulation today, the coin that has garnered so much attention and value is not just any Bicentennial Quarter.
The rarity lies in a particular error or a specific minting anomaly that sets it apart from the rest.
They can include off-center strikes, double strikes, or the use of incorrect metal planchets.
