The Bicentennial Quarter, made of 40% silver, sold for nearly $701K. Its high value is due to its pristine condition and significance in marking America's 200th birthday.
Valued over $25K, the Double Die Obverse Quarter resulted from a double-stamped design, creating noticeable doubling of the date and motto. This minting error makes it highly coveted.
Off-center strikes, where the coin blank is misaligned, can turn ordinary quarters into valuable items worth over $25K. The more dramatic the misalignment, the higher the value.
Some Bicentennial Quarters were mistakenly struck on 40% silver planchets intended for collector sets. These error quarters, highly sought after, can exceed $25K in top condition.
The Full Drum Lines Quarter features a detailed strike fully outlining the drum on the reverse. Early strikes from fresh dies make these quarters rare and valuable, fetching over $25K.
Quarters overstruck on previously minted coins or other denominations are extremely rare, with values over $25K. These anomalies offer a fascinating glimpse into minting errors.
Proof quarters, struck with care for a mirrored finish, can have errors like smudged designs or incorrect metal compositions. Bicentennial proof errors can be valued over $25K.
