The idea of a Bicentennial Quarter being valued at astronomical figures like $33,000 is highly exaggerated and not supported by credible sources.
The highest recorded sale for a Bicentennial Quarter was $19,200, which was a unique case involving a particularly rare and pristine coin
most Bicentennial Quarters are valued significantly lower, even in uncirculated or mint condition.
Common values for these coins range from a few dollars to a couple of hundred dollars, depending on their specific condition and minting errors.
For example, a Superb and Perfect Uncirculated Bicentennial Quarter (grades 67 to 70) can fetch between $1,740 and $19,200, but these are exceptional cases
For most collectors, Bicentennial Quarters are relatively accessible and do not command the extremely high prices that are sometimes claimed in sensational articles
