Six 2025 quarters with significant collector value

In 2025, coin collectors and enthusiasts should keep their eyes peeled for six specific Washington quarters that could be worth a significant amount of money. These quarters, minted between 1932 and 1950, have unique characteristics or errors that make them highly valuable in the collector’s market. The 1950-D/S Washington Quarter, where the Denver mintmark was mistakenly punched over the San Francisco mintmark, is one to watch out for. Only about 20,000 of these error coins are believed to still be in circulation, and those graded at 55 can fetch around $220. Another valuable find is the 1950-S/D Washington Quarter, which features the opposite error, with the “S” mintmark stamped over the “D.” A standard 1950 San Francisco quarter in circulated condition is worth just $6 or $7, but those graded at 55 and considered “about uncirculated” can command approximately $325. The 1932-S Washington Quarter is particularly rare, with the lowest mintage of any Washington quarter at only 408,000 coins struck.

Valuable collector quarters to find

Around 40,000 are estimated to still be in existence, and specimens with the highest grades can be worth $360. Quarters with doubling errors, such as the 1934 Washington Quarter Double Die Obverse and the 1943 Washington Quarter Double Die Obverse, are also highly sought after. The 1934 version, when highly graded, can fetch about $440, while the 1943 error is prominent enough to be seen without magnification. Even the lowest graded 1943 specimens are worth around $135, and one graded “about uncirculated” at 58+ is valued at an impressive $8,500. Lastly, the 1932-D Washington Quarter, when graded in high mint state conditions, can command up to $525 for coins graded at 55 or higher, while circulated versions can still be worth $225. Coin collectors should keep these specific quarters in mind and consider getting them professionally graded to maximize their potential value in the market.
