This U.S. state quarter could be worth $6,000; Check you collection
It’s time to check that coin jar.
A specific state quarter from 2004 could be worth thousands of dollars, Fox Business reported.
Wisconsin state quarters from the 50 State Quarters Program have a limited-edition design that is worth more if there are noticeable variations in the design.
The front of the coin shows a cow, a peeled husk of corn and slices wheel of cheese along with the year Wisconsin joined the union – 1848 – and the state motto, “Forward.” Some of the coins have what Fox Business describes as a “small design anomaly,” that features an extra leaf, pointing up or down on the corn husk.
It’s unclear if the difference was intentional.
One of the 2004 Wisconsin quarters with an additional low leaf was auctioned for a record $6,000 I January 2020.
The coin was released on Oct. 25, 2004 and was the 30th in the 50th State Quarters Program and the fourth released that year. Launched in 1999, the State Quarters Program was a 10-year initiative that honored each of the 50 states. The U.S. Mint issued five new quarters each year in the order that the states ratified the Constitution or were admitted into the Union.
