The Bicentennial Quarter, which was issued in 1975 and 1976 to mark the United States of America's 200th anniversary of independence, is often worth little more than its face value.
This coin, which was sold at auction for more than ten million dollars, is said to be the first silver dollar that was minted by the United States Mint, which had only recently been established.
A profile of Liberty with flowing hair is shown on the obverse of the coin, while an eagle is featured on the reverse of the coin. This design perfectly reflects the principles of freedom and independence that the nascent country represented.
This gold coin, which was initially valued at twenty dollars, has since become one of the most expensive in the world, with a selling price that is more than ten million dollars.
Due to the fact that the majority of the coins were melted down when the United States exited the gold standard in 1933, any specimens that have survived are very uncommon and are highly sought after by collectors.
