THIS One Quarter Is Worth 1,000 Times Its Original Value. Check Your Change Drawer! Its wild to think about how much loose change you have lying around in your house. In between couch cushions, in jars, in pockets of unused pants. You might have fifty, maybe a hundred bucks in coins! Whats even crazier is to think that you might very well have a coin in there thats worth 1,000 times what it was originally for! The next time youre looking through your old quarters, you might want to keep an eye out. This quarter is worth more than its 25 cent regular value. As it turns out, a Kansas pressing machine that was minting coins had a grease smudge when it was pressing coins in 2004. The quarter, a 2004 Wisconsin quarter, contains a small irregularity that coin-collectors now want in their collection. Take a look. Its small, but noticeable, and that can make the 25-cent coin worth more than $300. So the next time youre sifting through quarters, take a glance and see if it happens to be a 2004 Wisconsin. Cause you might just be $300 richer!
