2004 Quarters Are Worth $2000, And One Might Be In Your Pocket Right Now

The majority of coins don't hold much value - a penny is worth just one cent, a nickel five, and a dime ten, but on occasion, the coins that make up your loose change can be worth way more than face value. That's definitely the case for some quarters in circulation that are worth over $2,000. The coins to be on the lookout for are Wisconsin state quarters that came out in 2004. The backs of all of those quarters show a wheel of cheese, a cow, and an ear of corn, but the valuable ones have something particularly special going on with the corn.

TikTok user CoinHub posted a video that explains what makes the valuable quarters so unique. In it, he states that an error is what's behind their value. The mistake is an extra "leaf" on the corn.

All it takes is a tiny mark under one part of the vegetable to increase the quarter's value tremendously. That mark, referred to as the "high extra leaf," isn't supposed to be there. One quarter in great condition with the mark sold for $2,530.

It's not just quarters that can be worth a ton too - everything from pennies to dollar coins could sell for a lot more than face value - typically because they are really old or have an error on them. Others sell because they are unique, like a 1909 penny that has "VDB" on it - the initials of designer Victor David Brenner. Only 484,000 of those were minted and one just sold for over $1,100.
