This revelation has captured the attention of collectors and enthusiasts alike, sparking renewed interest in these historic coins.
The Bicentennial quarter features a unique design distinct from regular Washington quarters.
The obverse side retains the familiar profile of George Washington, but the reverse side showcases a colonial drummer and a victory torch encircled by 13 stars.
These quarters were minted in both Philadelphia and Denver, with the mint mark distinguishing the place of production.
The six recently discovered quarters owe their astronomical value to a combination of rarity, historical significance, and minting errors.
Each coin has a unique story and set of characteristics that set it apart from the millions of other Bicentennial quarters in circulation.
The unique errors and minting anomalies make these coins one-of-a-kind or extremely limited in number.
