For most everyday 1999 U.S. coins, their value is generally close to their face value. However, certain factors can make them significantly more valuable to collectors:
- Condition: Coins in excellent, uncirculated condition (Mint State or Proof) are typically worth more than those with wear and tear from circulation.
- Errors and varieties: Coins with mint errors, such as:
– Wide AM pennies: On these pennies, the “AM” in “AMERICA” on the reverse side is spaced wider than usual. This is considered an error and can significantly increase the coin’s value.
– Doubled dies: Errors where the coin’s design appears doubled.
– Off-center strikes: Errors where the design is shifted to the edge of the coin.
– Experimental planchets: Some 1999 Statehood Quarters were struck on experimental planchets that resulted in a golden or greenish color instead of the standard copper-nickel.
– Misaligned dies: Errors where the dies used to strike the coin are misaligned, causing parts of the design to appear doubled or shifted.
- Mint marks: The mint mark (P for Philadelphia, D for Denver, or S for San Francisco) can sometimes affect a coin’s value.

- If you believe you have a valuable 1999 coin, it’s recommended to consult with a professional coin appraiser or a reputable coin dealer for an accurate assessment.
- Beware of claims about extremely high values for common coins. It’s best to verify information with reliable sources.

Which 1999 quarter is worth $10,000?
Why would a Georgia quarter be worth $10,000? It was only one of a very special 1999 quarter that was minted on an experimental golden-colored test planchet (test alloy) and very rare. It sold for a little over $10,000 because it doesn’t have the regular copper-nickel plating and edge.
What makes a 1999 quarter rare?
Great question! The quarter’s high value is a result of several manufacturing errors. The biggest one involves coins struck on experimental metals, called planchets, that were intended for the Sacagawea dollar, which wasn’t released until 2000.
