Let's delve into what makes this Bicentennial quarter so special, along with four other exceptionally valuable quarters that have captured the imaginations of numismatists and collectors alike.
The United States Bicentennial quarters were issued in 1975 and 1976 to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence.
These quarters feature a unique dual date (1776-1976) and a special reverse design depicting a colonial drummer and a victory torch encircled by thirteen stars.

While millions of these quarters were minted, making them relatively common, the specific quarter valued at nearly $75 million is an extraordinary outlier.
This quarter's astronomical value is attributed to a rare minting error combined with its pristine condition.
Minting errors, such as doubled dies, off-center strikes, or wrong metal compositions, significantly increase a coin's value.
The perfect storm of rarity, error, and condition propels this Bicentennial quarter to the top of the valuation charts.
