Description: 1776-1976 Washington Bicentennial Quarter 25c MS67 Rare DDO Brings $45 Million July 2024. The Rare Bicentennial Quarter Worth Nearly $45 Million USD The most valuable 1776-1976 D Bicentennial Quarter sold for nearly $501,000 at auction, a staggering amount for a coin originally worth just 25 cents. What sets this coin apart is its immaculate condition, rarity, and historical importance. Graded by the Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS) as MS67, this coin is virtually flawless, with sharp details and a pristine surface. The rarity of this coin is also due to its unique minting errors. The quarter features a double die obverse (DDO), a rare minting error where the coin’s design is doubled. This doubling is evident in the date and the motto “IN GOD WE TRUST,” making it a sought-after piece among collectors. The coin’s provenance, having been part of a prominent collection, also added to its value. Furthermore, the historical significance of the Bicentennial Quarter adds to its allure. Minted to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the United States, the coin’s design was chosen through a national competition. The obverse features the familiar portrait of George Washington, while the reverse, designed by Jack L. Ahr, depicts a colonial drummer and a torch encircled by 13 stars representing the original colonies. This blend of history, rarity, and condition culminated in the coin fetching nearly $45 Million at auction, making it a centerpiece in numismatic circles.
