The Bicentennial quarters were produced in large quantities, with over 1.6 billion minted, which makes them relatively common in everyday transactions.
The U.S. Mint produced special proof and silver-clad versions of the Bicentennial quarter, which were sold directly to collectors.
These versions often command higher prices due to their limited mintage and superior condition.

Coins with mint errors, such as double strikes, off-center strikes, or incorrect planchets, are highly sought after by collectors.
These errors are rare and typically increase a coin's value significantly.
The discovery of fifty-seven rare Bicentennial quarters worth over $25 million USD is unprecedented in the numismatic world.
Many of the discovered quarters are in mint state, with some graded as high as MS-68 or MS-69 by professional grading services.
