Top 7 State Quarters That Could Be Worth More Than You Think!

Sharing is caring!

Because of their distinctive patterns that reflect each of the 50 states, collectors adore the state quarters that were produced by the US Mint between 1999 and 2008. Some uncommon and mistake copies are much more valuable than the majority, which are only worth their face value of 25 cents. If you are a collector or just interested in these coins, this article lists seven uncommon state quarters that you should keep an eye out for.
