In 1976, the United States Mint released a series of special coins to celebrate the nation's bicentennial.
Among these was the Bicentennial Quarter, distinguished by its unique reverse design featuring a colonial drummer boy and a torch surrounded by 13 stars.
This design replaced the traditional eagle found on the reverse of the Washington Quarter for that year.
Millions of these quarters were minted and circulated widely, becoming a nostalgic reminder of America's 200th birthday.
So, what makes this particular Bicentennial Quarter worth an astonishing $30 million?
The answer lies in a combination of rarity, historical significance, and exceptional condition.
Error coins are particularly prized by collectors because they represent a deviation from the norm, a mistake that inadvertently creates rarity and increases value.
