    Yeah unfortunately Bicentennial Quarters, despite what you see online, unless it's super shiny new and REALLY mark free (I mean mark **FREEE*** under a magnifier, look up coin grading and MS coins) are only worth face value, even tho they are unusual to find in change. Also I replied to another thread you posted in about a better way to hold your coins :)

    Good luck in your coin searching!

    Philately will get you nowhere....

    Bicentennial coins were widely saved (hoarded) by the general public and mint state examples are very common.

    Agree, no real value. However - it would be a great way to get an album and start a set. Coins don't have to be expensive to be fun to collect. Build a set and learn as you go.

    I am a newer collector (started April 2020), and I primarily focus on U.S. Half Cents and Type Coins. Early copper is my favorite.
