Among these treasures, rare coins stand out, captivating collectors and enthusiasts alike. Recently, a particularly remarkable find has stirred excitement in the numismatic community – a rare Bicentennial Quarter valued at a staggering $120,000, alongside four more gems each valued at over $4,000.
The Rarity of Bicentennial Quarters
The Bicentennial Quarter, minted in 1976 to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the United States Declaration of Independence, holds a special place in American numismatics. Featuring a unique design on its reverse side, depicting a colonial drummer and a torch encircled by thirteen stars, these quarters were produced in vast numbers for general circulation.
