Struck in 1975 and 1976 to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the United States, these quarters have become iconic pieces of American history.
These coins are the Cinderella stories of the coin collecting world, turning an ordinary piece of change into a collector's dream.
The Bicentennial quarter was part of a special series of coins issued to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the United States.
The obverse side retains the familiar profile of George Washington but is marked with the dual dates "1776–1976."
Produced in both clad and 40% silver compositions, these quarters were intended for general circulation as well as for collectors.
The Mint released millions of them, and they quickly became popular among the public for their distinct design and historical significance.
Among the countless Bicentennial quarters in circulation, five have emerged with extraordinary value.
