2004 Quarters Are Worth $2000, And One Could Be In Your Pocket Right Now | Elvis Duran and the Morning Show (2024)
Most coins aren't worth much: a penny is just one cent, a nickel five and a dime ten, but sometimes, they are worth more than face value, and that's the case for some quarters in circulation that could be worth over $2,000. The coins, which came out in 2004, are the Wisconsin state quarters. They all show a cow, a wheel of cheese and an ear of corn on the back, but the valuable ones have something special going on with the corn.
TikTok user CoinHub posted a video letting people know about the special quarters. In it, he explains that what makes the coins so valuable is an extra "leaf" on the corn. A tiny mark under one part of the vegetable increases 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.

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.
However, some of the Wisconsin quarters that were released in 2004 have a small design difference that shows an extra leaf on the illustrated corn husk. Collectors have debated whether the extra leaf had been stamped by accident or with intent, according to the Littleton Coin Company, a New Hampshire-based coin seller.
In 2004, several coins of the state quarter series were printed with a misprint on the design for the Wisconsin coin. These coins featured an extra leaf on the left side of the corn cob on the coin. These coins become particularly valuable, often selling for several hundred dollars on sites such as eBay.
