The Bicentennial quarter was issued in 1976 to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the United States' independence.
The U.S. Mint produced Bicentennial quarters in large quantities for circulation, but some versions, particularly proof or uncirculated coins, are much rarer and more valuable than regular circulation coins.
Some rare versions of the Bicentennial quarter feature specific mint marks or production errors that increase their value.
The most valuable Bicentennial quarters are those with special features, such as "double die" errors, or misprints, which can increase their worth significantly, often making them worth thousands of dollars.
A coin's condition, such as whether it's uncirculated or proof, plays a significant role in determining its value.
While the typical Bicentennial quarter is only worth 25 cents, rare varieties can fetch prices upwards of $2.5 million depending on their rarity and condition.
Bicentennial quarters were minted for regular circulation in 1976, but over time, most have been collected or taken out of circulation.
