We have been through this routine a number of times; the desired coin is the only thing that changes. We have seen dimes, pennies, and quarters be sought after to the tune of millions of dollars; this time were only talking 5 figures. I don't know about you, but 5 figures could change a lot for me.

This time, I need you all to gather your coins and separate the quarters from the rest of them. Now that they are all separated, we are looking for a specific quarter that could make you almost $20,000 richer. The coin in question is known as the bicentennial quarter and has several distinct markings.

While every quarter may be worth $.25 as we have found out, there are plenty of currency notes that are worth far more than their posted value. Below is a list of the Bicentennial quarters and how much each of them is worth:

1976-S Bicentennial Quarter, Silver (Regular Strike): $19,200
1976-S Bicentennial Quarter, Silver (Proof): $13,500
1976-D Bicentennial Quarter, Clad (Regular Strike): $6,462
1976-S Bicentennial Quarter, Clad (Proof): $6,038
1976 Bicentennial Quarter, Clad (Regular Strike): $1,119

As always there are specific markings, years, material, and other factors you are testing these coins against, but if they pass all the metric tests, you just may have yourself a wealthy coin.
