The world of coin collecting is often seen as a niche hobby, but every so often, a discovery is made that captures widespread attention.
This staggering valuation has propelled interest in coin collecting to new heights and brought attention to other valuable quarters from the same era.
Here’s a closer look at this rare Bicentennial Quarter and six others worth over $150,000.
This particular Bicentennial Quarter is unlike any other. Struck in 1975, it features a unique double die obverse (DDO) error.
This minting mistake resulted in a doubling effect on the coin’s front, making the text appear slightly blurred or shadowed.
The coin is also in pristine condition, graded as MS-68 by the Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS).
While millions of these quarters were produced for circulation, what makes certain Bicentennial Quarters rare and valuable is their unique errors or special minting conditions.
