Most U.S. quarters are worth 25 cents. But silver quarters (pre-1965), error quarters, and certain State Quarter varieties can be worth $5 to $25,000. Here is the quick checklist.
Any quarter dated 1964 or earlier is 90% silver. Even circulated examples are worth at least $5 in silver alone. Anything pre-1932 (Standing Liberty and Barber quarters) is worth a real premium.
2004-D Wisconsin Extra Leaf High and Low, 2005-P Minnesota Extra Tree varieties, 2005-P Kansas "In God We Rust", 1999-P Connecticut broadstrike — these are all worth $50 to $500 or more.
A 1965 quarter that weighs 6.25 grams (instead of the normal 5.67g) is a silver transitional error worth $7,000 to $12,000.
Off-center strikes, die cracks, clipped planchets, doubled dies, and broadstrikes all add value to any quarter.
