Collecting

I was admittedly never good at math, but even I know that a quarter is not worth 9,000 bucks except that I'm technically wrong. There is one error on a 1965 quarter that does make it worth even more than $9,000.

Coins don't always have to be rare to be valuable. That's the case for a 1984 penny you might easily come across in Illinois. There are many that have an error on Lincoln's ear that could make them worth thousands.

A penny for your thoughts? If you find this 1995 penny in Missouri, that thought could be putting more than $5,000 in your bank account if it happens to have a rare error that's easy to spot.

I was taught that a quarter is always worth 25 cents, but I've learned that's not always true. There is in fact one quarter that is worth more than $80,000 and it's possible it could be hiding in Missouri in someone's pocket or piggy bank.

I have found one thing that the internet is very good at. The web has helped me understand that I need to check the change in my pocket more often. One example is a buffalo nickel you can potentially find in Missouri that will make you rich if it has one tiny error and it's simple to spot.
