These valuations have elevated the Bicentennial quarter from a common commemorative coin to a treasure of immense historical and monetary value.
The Bicentennial quarter was minted in 1975 and 1976 to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the United States' independence.
Unlike regular quarters, these coins feature a unique reverse design depicting a Colonial drummer and a victory torch encircled by 13 stars, representing the original colonies.

The obverse retained the familiar profile of George Washington but bore the dual date "1776-1976" to mark the bicentennial celebration.
The extraordinary value of these quarters stems from several factors including their rarity, condition, historical significance, and collector demand.
While millions of Bicentennial quarters were minted, the ones commanding astronomical prices possess unique attributes that set them apart.
The near-perfect condition of these coins significantly boosts their value. The six quarters valued at over $600,000 each fall into this category.
