coins can fetch astronomical prices, turning what seems like ordinary pocket change into a treasure trove.
the spotlight has turned to a particularly rare Bicentennial quarter that has astonished collectors with its estimated value of nearly $10 million USD.
extraordinary piece of numismatic history, along with three other coins worth over $500,000, exemplifies the allure and value that certain coins can hold.
United States Bicentennial quarter, minted in 1975 and 1976 to celebrate the 200th anniversary of American independence, is generally not considered a rare coin.
Bicentennial quarter in question is an error coin, a term used to describe coins that have mistakes or anomalies from the minting process.
nearly $10 million quarter is believed to be a unique specimen with a double die error, where the coin’s design appears doubled.
error can occur during the minting process when the die imprints the coin twice, slightly misaligned the second time.
