The Bicentennial Quarter, part of a larger series of commemorative coins, was issued in 1975 and 1976 to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the United States’ independence.
In the realm of numismatics, rarity and uniqueness significantly drive a coin's value.
Most Bicentennial Quarters are relatively common, with millions minted for general circulation.
