Millions of Bicentennial Quarters were produced, with the U.S. Mint issuing over 1.6 billion of them in total.

While the majority of Bicentennial Quarters are not rare, certain varieties of these coins, such as those minted in special circumstances or with unique errors, can be quite valuable to collectors.

The Bicentennial Quarter was minted in three locations—Philadelphia (P), Denver (D), and San Francisco (S).

The condition of a coin significantly impacts its value. Quarters in "uncirculated" or "proof" conditions (those that were never used in circulation) are more desirable and can command a premium price.

Some Bicentennial Quarters are worth significantly more due to minting errors, such as misstrikes, double die errors, or incorrect placements.
