The United States Sun reported in 2022 that a rare quarter issued in 2000 with a mistake sold for $216 on eBay.
The coin is from the state Washington quarters series portraying New Hampshire, but it was minted on a Jefferson nickel.
However, the US Sun states that this is not the most costly uncommon coin. Rare Washington quarters made in 1932 can fetch up to $13,573, according to USA Coin Book.
According to The United States Sun, coins with errors and uncommon mintages have the best market value.
Error coins, such as the Washington quarter, which sold for $216, are also known as "planchet" errors or double denominations.
If you are the type of person who dumps your spare change into a jar, bowl, or piggy bank at home, it may be worthwhile to look through your coins to see if you have any valuable ones.
If you don't have a designated spot to keep your spare change, look beneath couch cushions, in your car, and wherever else change may accumulate.
When searching for rare coins, seek for any that are uncommon, such as a design you've never seen before, a mistake in which the print appears "off."
Then search eBay for the coin's complete name and year, choose "sold" goods, and sort the results by "highest value" first. If you locate a winner, you can sell it on eBay or one of several other online markets.
