Hidden gems and pleasant surprises abound in the world of coin collecting, and sometimes they're even right under our noses.
For instance, a rare variety of the 1976-issued Bicentennial Quarter, which commemorates two hundred years of American freedom, is selling for about $60,000.
Let's explore the world of these little but powerful artifacts and find seven further quarters, with a combined worth of almost $6,000.
The great value of this unusual variety struck in 40% silver comes in its distinctive design, which has a drummer on the reverse and a dual date of 1776-1976.
The 1932-D Washington quarter is a staple for collectors and is among the series' rarest coins because to its very small mintage of only 436,800.
Being the first in the Washington quarter series adds to its rarity, and in perfect condition, this coin may command a price far beyond $20,000.
A quarter in pristine condition is a highly sought-after addition to any collection, fetching prices of about $15,000.
The 1942-P proof quarter stands out due to its low mintage and the fact that it is a member of a proof set. Its mirror-like sheen is the product of careful striking.
