The Double Die Obverse Quarter
The coin stamping die was misaligned during minting. Though subtle, this misalignment boosts the coin's value. The rareness and precision needed to identify the doubling make this quarter worth over $5.5 million to collectors.
The Off-Center Strike Quarter
The 15% off-center strike on this Bicentennial Quarter makes it rare. The off-center strike makes the coin look odd, with part of the design missing and part prominent. This error and the coin's excellent condition have raised its value to $5.2 million, making it a prized piece in high-end collections.
The Overstruck Quarter
The coin was mistakenly struck over a 1971 Eisenhower Dollar, creating a quarter-dollar hybrid. One of the most sought-after error coins, this unusual error blends designs and inscriptions. Its rarity and origins have raised its value to $5.8 million, making it unique in coin collecting.
Full Drum Lines Quarter
The Full Drum Lines Quarter is coveted for its detail and mint condition. The reverse of this Bicentennial Quarter has a colonial drummer with clear drum lines, a series rarity. Rare coin due to its pristine condition and sharp image. This detail and historical significance make it worth over $5.1 million.
San Francisco Mint Proof Error Quarter
Some San Francisco Mint quarters were circulated instead of proof. The coin had the design and sharpness of a proof coin but the texture of a regular quarter due to this error. Its rare combination and limited number make it collectible. This rare Bicentennial Quarters piece costs $5.3 million.
