Collections of rare and historical coins have fascinating stories and incredible values. Bicentennial Quarter stands out. Quarters commemorating the 200th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence represent American heritage.
First, the Double-Struck Liberty, accidentally struck twice during minting. The image overlap was unique due to this error. An offset double image of the Bicentennial symbol drummer boy appears on the coin.
1. Double-Struck Liberty
Misprinted Motto Quarter, a printing error coin, follows. Misprinting the motto “E Pluribus Unum” during minting created a rare and unique variation. Perfect condition and error make the coin a rare collector's item.
2. Misprinted Motto Quarter
The composition error on our third coin stands out. This rare quarter was mistakenly struck in pure silver instead of copper-nickel. A U.S. Mint error caused rare coins by switching materials.
3. Silver Composition Error
Another oddity is the Off-Center Drummer Boy quarter. Off-center striking misaligned this coin's drummer boy design. Collectors value this rare error. Due to its off-center strike, the coin looks different from quarters.
4. Off-Center Drummer Boy
U.S. quarters have mint marks indicating their origin. The unusual No Mint Mark Quarter lacks this inscription. Minting error makes this coin rare.
5. Quarter Without Mint Mark
Finale: Full Drum Lines Quarter. Drum lines are clear and complete on this drummer boy coin, making it unique. Period quarters have worn or incomplete drum lines. This coin's pristine condition and full design make it rare.
6. Full Quarter Drum Lines
Not just currency, the Bicentennial Quarter series is American history. Historical significance and stories, not material or errors, are valued in some of these six rare coins.
