What makes this quarter so valuable is the absence of the “S” mintmark, indicating that it was not struck at the San Francisco Mint as it should have been.
Instead, it is believed to be an error coin, making it an extremely rare and sought-after piece among collectors.
This particular quarter was recently acquired by a private collector for an astonishing sum, nearly $10 million USD, making it one of the most valuable coins ever sold.
Its rarity and historical significance, coupled with its pristine condition, contributed to its record-breaking price tag.
But this remarkable find is not an isolated incident in the world of rare coins.
In fact, there are several other bicentennial quarters that command substantial sums on the market.
Three more quarters, each worth over $500,000 USD, have captured the attention of collectors worldwide.
