Overview

Historical significance

This coin was issued to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. It was a one-year-only design change for the reverse of the circulating quarter, half-dollar, and dollar coins. Although millions were minted, their unique date and reverse design make them a popular collector's item, especially for those interested in American history.

Estimated value

Most Bicentennial quarters in circulated condition are worth face value (25 cents). Uncirculated examples can fetch between $0.50 to $5, with error coins or high-grade proof examples potentially worth more.

Care & preservation

To preserve the coin's condition, handle it by the edges to avoid transferring oils from your skin. Store it in a cool, dry place, preferably in an acid-free holder or album to prevent damage from environmental factors.
