The 1976 Bicentennial Quarter, celebrating 200 years of American independence, is not just a piece of history but also a collector’s dream. What makes this particular quarter so valuable is its unique minting error, combined with its pristine condition.
Valued at over $10 million, the 1794 Flowing Hair Quarter is a testament to the early days of the United States Mint. It’s one of the first quarters ever minted by the newly established United States.
This error occurred when an 1822 die was modified to read 1823, a common practice at the time to save on costs. This quarter is not only rare but also holds a story of early minting practices, adding to its allure among collectors.
With a valuation exceeding $6 million, the 1838 Proof Liberty Seated Quarter is a marvel of its time. It’s one of the earliest proof coins minted by the United States Mint and features a detailed depiction of Lady Liberty seated on a rock.
The 1804 Draped Bust Quarter, valued at over $5.5 million, is known for its rarity and the mystery surrounding its late release. Despite its 1804 date, it was actually minted in 1805 or later, adding to its uniqueness.
Valued at just over $5 million, the 1870-S Liberty Seated Quarter is a rare specimen from the San Francisco Mint. Its rarity is attributed to the extremely low mintage numbers, with only a handful of these quarters known to exist.
