Imagine turning an ordinary 25¢ quarter into $150,000. Sounds unbelievable, right?
But that’s exactly what’s happening with the ultra-rare 2019 “Super Doubled Die” quarter — a minting mistake so dramatic that collectors are scrambling to find one.
At PennyVerse, we’ll show you how to spot this once-in-a-lifetime coin before you accidentally spend it! 
The $150,000 Mint Error at a Glance
- Coin: 2019-P “Super Doubled Die” Quarter
- Cause: A rare die-shifting disaster at the Philadelphia Mint
- Effect: The entire design shows dramatic doubling & rotation
- Rarity: Only 3–5 coins believed to exist
- Last Known Offer: $150,000 (ungraded example)
This error was so extreme that the die actually broke after striking just a handful of coins!
How to Identify the “Super Doubled Die” Quarter
Look for these key signs when checking your change:
LIBERTY → A complete second set of letters floating above the first
Washington’s Portrait → A ghost-like duplicate of his profile (nose to neck)
Date & Motto → “2019” and “IN GOD WE TRUST” clearly doubled
Rotation → The duplicate image is tilted about 5–10°
Pro Tip: Use a 10x magnifying loupe — the doubling is obvious under magnification! 
Value Breakdown: Normal vs. Super Doubled Die
| Feature | Normal Quarter | Super Doubled Die Quarter |
|---|---|---|
| Doubling | None/Minor | Extreme, rotated |
| Rarity | Billions minted | Only 3–5 known |
| Value | $0.25 | $150,000+ |
Don’t Get Fooled by Fakes
Unfortunately, scammers often try to pass off fakes. Watch out for:
Photoshopped listings on eBay
Coins that fail PCGS/NGC grading
Claims that “hundreds exist” (not true!)
Only trust certified grading services like PCGS or NGC
Match the error against the exact doubling pattern
What to Do If You Find One
- Handle by the edges only (cotton gloves recommended)
- Take clear photos from multiple angles
- Submit to PCGS or NGC for official grading
- Sell through trusted auction houses like Heritage Auctions
Never clean the coin! Even a light wipe can cut $50,000+ from its value.
Where Could This Rare Quarter Be Hiding?
Coin rolls from 2019–2020 (especially Philadelphia Mint)
Store register trays (coins often get rejected by machines)
Tourist change worldwide — these coins have traveled far!
Fun Fact: In 2021, a similar error coin was discovered in a Taco Bell tip jar!
