I'm trying to figure out if my bicentennial quarter is rare or not. I'm looking for ways to identify its rarity, maybe based on its mintage, condition, or any special markings it might have.

Overstruck errors occur when a coin is struck a second time, either partially or fully, often resulting in doubled images or designs. This type of error is highly valued.

Die cap errors involve a piece of metal or debris becoming stuck on the die and being impressed onto the coin. This creates a raised area on the coin's surface.

Doubled die errors happen when the die is incorrectly aligned during the stamping process, causing two impressions to overlap. Doubled die bicentennial quarters are particularly popular with collectors and can fetch high prices in excellent condition.
