The United States Bicentennial quarter, minted in 1975 and 1976, commemorates the 200th anniversary of American independence.
These quarters are distinct with their dual date “1776–1976” and unique reverse design featuring a Colonial drummer and a torch encircled by 13 stars, symbolizing the original colonies.
While millions of these quarters were produced, making them common in circulation, certain variations and errors make specific coins highly valuable.

The quarter in question that has captivated the numismatic world is not just any Bicentennial quarter; it is a rare error coin.
The $29 million quarter is a double die obverse (DDO) error, meaning the design on the front of the coin was accidentally struck twice.
This results in noticeable doubling of the letters and numbers, making it exceptionally rare and sought after by collectors.
The extraordinary value of this quarter comes from its impeccable condition and the rarity of the error.
