The recent buzz in the coin-collecting community revolves around a rare bicentennial quarter, estimated to be worth nearly $420 million USD.
This astonishing valuation has sparked renewed interest in searching through collections, piggy banks, and pockets for potential hidden treasures. But this isn’t the only remarkable find out there.
One of the most sought-after varieties among collectors is the 1976 bicentennial quarter with a misprinted mint mark. These quarters, struck at the Philadelphia Mint, bear the “P” mint mark on the obverse side
Due to a rare error during production, a limited number of these quarters were released with the mint mark appearing in a slightly different position, making them exceptionally valuable to collectors.
Another coveted rarity among collectors is the doubled die reverse 1976 bicentennial quarter. This variety exhibits doubling in the design elements on the reverse side of the coin, resulting in a distinct and visually striking appearance.
Among the various minting errors that enhance a coin’s value, the off-center struck 1976 bicentennial quarter is highly prized by collectors. These quarters exhibit a noticeable misalignment of the obverse and reverse designs, creating a striking visual anomaly
While many circulated bicentennial quarters can still be found in pocket change, uncirculated specimens with full luster are much rarer and more valuable.
