For over centuries, rare coins have been there for collectors, and the sky is just the limit as far as the cost of some is concerned. Over pretty recent times, a rare discovery has dominated the limelight with its potential to rake in millions. Does this make it the one that you might be holding?
A Short Background Of The Bicentennial Quarter
The Bicentennial Quarter was made for the years 1975 and 1976, requesting the 200th anniversary of the United States’ independence. This series had unique designs, among which there is a colonial drummer on the reverse and the traditional George Washington portrait on the obverse side. It is distinguished from regular quarters due to its double-date mark of “1776-1976”.
What Makes It Valuable?
With the vast majority of Bicentennial Quarters being ordinary, having no value greater than their face value, in error, and being rare editions, some have attracted a collector’s eye.
Some are made with 40% silver instead of copper-nickel, making them very valuable. Others may be found in mint state or feature one of the other errors, including double strikes or off-center images.
Recent Find and Possible Value
Multiple sources have reported that a very rare Bicentennial Quarter had recently been found, which put collectors on high alert. What makes this currency such a potential million-dollar find is its unique error and the fact that it is virtually in mint condition. Experts recommend all those who have a Bicentennial Quarter in their collection to have it graded, as it may be worth much more than they believe.
