Think all quarters are worth just 25 cents? Think again. Some rare U.S. quarters are turning heads in 2025, fetching tens of thousands—and in some cases, millions—of dollars from collectors. Whether due to minting errors, low production numbers, or unique historical designs, these coins are the hidden gems you might already have in your pocket.
Here Are 3 Rare Quarters You Should NEVER Spend:
- 2021 “Crossing the Delaware” Quarter (Die Chip Error)
- Look near Washington’s hat—many of these quarters show a small but valuable die chip that collectors call the “Hat Error.”
- These can sell for hundreds to thousands, depending on condition.
- 1776-1976 Bicentennial Quarter (Drummer Boy)
- While most are common, mint errors or uncirculated examples can be worth hundreds to over $5,000.
- Double dies and off-center strikes are especially valuable.
- 2022 American Women Quarter Series (Struck-Through or Die Clash Errors)
- These beautiful modern quarters feature bold artwork—but some come with striking mint mistakes that make them highly collectible.
- Errors near the hands or inscriptions can skyrocket values.
And that’s just scratching the surface. With over $300 million in rare quarters circulating, some of these coins are being found in pocket change, coin rolls, and old jars across America.
