Among these, the Bicentennial quarter, featuring a unique design with a colonial drummer on the reverse side, stands out.
The rarity and the multimillion-dollar valuation come from a specific minting error or unique feature that sets certain quarters apart.
Bicentennial quarter struck on a different planchet (metal blank) or featuring a double die error can skyrocket in value.
Bicentennial quarters in pristine, uncirculated condition, especially those with certain errors, can be highly valuable.
