The $45k Bicentennial Quarter Unveiled One of the most remarkable discoveries in recent times is the $45k Bicentennial Quarter.
Minted in 1976 to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the United States, this coin features a unique design showcasing the iconic Liberty Bell on its reverse side.
What makes this particular quarter so valuable is its rare error – a doubled die obverse, resulting in a distinct doubling of the image on the coin’s face.
Only a handful of these error coins are known to exist, making them highly sought after by collectors.
Unraveling the Mystery of the Double Die Obverse The double die obverse phenomenon occurs during the coin minting process
when the die used to stamp the coin’s design undergoes a slight rotation or misalignment, causing the image to be duplicated.
This error creates a striking visual effect, with certain elements of the design appearing doubled or distorted.
