25 Most Valuable Quarters Worth Money (2024 Guide)
Find the 25 most valuable quarters in circulation and beyond — Standing Liberty, Barber, and Washington quarter values.
Quarters have been a staple of US coinage since 1796, and many dates are worth far more than 25 cents. Whether you collect classic Barber and Standing Liberty quarters or modern state quarter errors, there are valuable quarters hiding in collections, rolls, and even pocket change. This guide covers the 25 most valuable quarters with current market values.
Silver quarters (1932-1964 Washington, all Barber and Standing Liberty quarters) contain 0.1808 troy oz of silver and are always worth at least their melt value. But key dates, mint marks, and error varieties can push values far higher.

What to Look for in Pocket Change
Silver Quarters (Pre-1965)
Any quarter dated 1964 or earlier is made of 90% silver and worth at least $4-5 for its silver content alone. These occasionally still turn up in pocket change, coin rolls, and inherited collections. Check the edge of the coin — silver quarters have a solid silver edge, while clad quarters show a copper stripe.
State Quarter Errors
The 50 State Quarters program (1999-2008) produced billions of quarters, but some have valuable errors. The 2004 Wisconsin Extra Leaf quarters (both High Leaf and Low Leaf varieties) are worth $200-$500. The 2005 Minnesota Extra Tree quarter is worth $50-$200. Look for die cracks, off-center strikes, and wrong-planchet errors across all state quarters.
W Mint Mark Quarters
Starting in 2019, the US Mint released small quantities of quarters with a W (West Point) mint mark into circulation. These are worth $10-$25 even in circulated condition. Check for the W mint mark to the right of Washington's ponytail on the obverse.
