Before you go to the laundromat, the store, or make any purchases with quarters, stop, check them out because you might have a rare piece more suitable for auction or artistically displayed, you could be giving away thousands of dollars.
Between 1999 and 2008, A new quarter was released for each US state every ten weeks. Each coin featured a representative image of the state, along with the year it joined the Union or ratified the federal constitution. In 2000, the designs for Massachusetts, Maryland, South Carolina, New Hampshire, and Virginia were minted.
Coin valuation is crucial. Collectors love to see coins in mint or uncirculated condition, designated with the abbreviation MS. Coins in mint condition can be graded from 60 to 70, 70 being the perfect score.

Even if your coins don’t help you retire early, They could be worth more than their face value. The valuation of a coin depends on several factors, including rarity. Although perfect coins can fetch a good sum at auction, coins with errors can also be valuable because there are usually few of them.
For example, if you have a coin with an image that has been double struck because the die slipped, you should have it evaluated. Coins with errors are highly sought after by collectorsand its value can increase significantly compared to normal coins.
Also, don’t limit yourself to just quarters. Other types of coins, such as pennies and two-dollar bills, can also fetch high prices at auction. If you have some old coins or bills, it’s worth checking them out.
