Discover These 20 Rare State Quarters That Could Be Worth a Lot More!

Many people collect coins either for fun or to make a profit. While not everyone will find a rare gem like the 1933 “Saint Gaudens” Double Eagle (which sold for nearly $19 million), there are state quarters out there that could be worth much more than their face value of 25 cents.

Before you drop that quarter into a fountain or use it at a Coinstar, check if it might be valuable! Some quarters have errors, like raised lines or unusual marks, which make them special.

Here’s a list of 20 state quarters that could be worth more, according to coin experts like Gainesville Coins, USA CoinBook, and PCGS. Keep in mind that error coins don’t have exact mint numbers, but their values can surprise you.

The Most Valuable U.S. Copper Coins You Might Have in Your Pocket

Is Your State Quarter Worth Something?

Some quarters are worth more due to rare errors or variations made during minting. These errors might include:

• Doubled dies
• Die cracks
• Clipped planchets

These mistakes can be tiny, so it’s essential to check your quarters carefully. Look for unusual markings, missing details, or any differences in the design.

If you find a valuable quarter, you can keep it or sell it. Popular places to sell coins include auctions, coin dealers, shows, or online platforms like eBay. If you think your coin could be worth a lot, consider getting it appraised by a professional.
