To celebrate the United States' 200th anniversary of independence, the U.S. Mint released special designs for the quarter, half dollar, and dollar coins in 1976.
This design was selected through a national competition, adding a layer of public engagement and historical reverence to its creation.
Specially minted proof coins, struck with higher quality dies and polished blanks, often fetch higher prices.

Besides the standard copper-nickel quarters, the U.S. Mint also produced 40% silver versions, included in special Bicentennial coin sets.
Coins with minting errors, such as double strikes, off-center strikes, or unique die errors, can significantly increase in value.
The story behind this gem-encrusted quarter involves a meticulous and artistically driven process.
Each gem was carefully chosen and set in a way that accentuated the quarter's original design while adding an opulent touch.
