Rare State Quarters You Can Have: Check the Price!

Rare State Quarters: It can be hard to find current U.S. quarters that are worth money when there are so many “regular” state quarters out there that aren’t worth anything extra. So, which ones are worth it?

1999-P Delaware Spitting Horse Quarter: $10 to $20

The Spitting Horse is an exciting die variety brought to collectors by the first coin in the 50 Rare State Quarters line.

What’s the Stiff Horse? Take a look at the back of the 1999 Delaware Quarter. It shows congressman Caesar Rodney riding his horse. It’s a tribute to the Founding Fathers’ 70-mile dash through the dark and stormy night. In order to break a tie vote that led to the Declaration of Independence, he rode from Dover, Delaware, to Philadelphia.

With some cuts of the 1999 Delaware quarter, you can see a raised line going from the horse’s mouth to the left. It’s there between the “C” and “A” in the name “CEASER.” This line was made by a big die break that showed up on some of these 1999 Delaware coins.

No one knows for sure how many of these mistakes were made. (The number of mistake coins made is not known.) They used to be very Rare State Quarters, and when they were found, they were going for as much as $250 to $500.

The 1999 Spitting Horse Delaware quarter has turned out to be more common over time than people first thought. Prices have gone down because people aren’t as interested in this coin as they used to be. But this interesting type still sells for $10 to $20.

2004-D Extra Leaf Wisconsin Quarter: $50 to $65

The 2004-D Extra Leaf Wisconsin quarter comes in not one but two strange styles. They are strange because the extra leaf on these two types looks like two different things. There is some numismatic speculation that the extra leaf varieties may have been added on purpose rather than by mistake, like when a die broke.

Different kinds of “Extra Leaf” mistakes are called “Extra High Leaf” and “Extra Low Leaf.” In both, the long leaf on the lower left of the corn stalk, between the main left leaf and the cheese wheel, is being talked about.

On the Extra High Leaf version, there is a thin leaf near the top of the cheese wheel that ends in the main left leaf of the corn stalk, which is much bigger. The extra on the Extras Low Leaf goes across the top of the cheese wheel in an arch, with both ends going behind it.

When these two types were first found a few weeks after the coin came out, they caused a big stir in the world of coins. They got so much attention that they were even featured on evening news shows. People were willing to pay $500 or even more for the coins when word first got out about them.

But since the excitement has died down a bit, so have the prices of these coins. Used copies of the Extra High Leaf fetch around $65 these days, while used copies of the Extra Low Leaf sell for around $50.

2005-P Minnesota Quarter Doubled Dies Quarter: $5 to $100

2009-D District of Columbia Doubled Die Quarter: $75

The 2009 District of Columbia quarter is part of the six-coin Washington, D.C., and U.S. Territories Quarters program. It took over the 50 State Quarters program, which ran from 1999 to 2008, in 2009. Puerto Rico, Guam, and other islands were in the set. The United States Mint put out some of these coins in special silver proof sets.

But this set of special quarters that were only made for one year is often kept with the regular state quarters, so it has an entry here. Duke Ellington, a jazz pianist and songwriter, is shown on the back of the 2009 District of Columbia quarter.

“The most dramatic doubled die in years” was written on some 2009-D District of Columbia quarters by Numismatic News. What is it then? The letters “ELL” in Duke Ellington’s name are strongly doubled on this doubled die. Some of the piano keys and other close sounds are also doubled.
