The value of a 2020 quarter depends on several factors, primarily its condition, mint mark, and any potential errors.
- Most 2020 quarters in circulated condition are worth face value: $0.25.
- Uncirculated condition: Quarters that are uncirculated and maintain their original luster are more valuable. An uncirculated 2020 quarter in Mint State (MS) condition could be worth $1-$3 or more depending on the grade.
- Mint marks:
– “W” mint mark (West Point Mint): Quarters with a “W” mint mark from the West Point Mint are scarcer, with only 2 million of each 2020 design produced, featuring a “V75” privy mark for the 75th anniversary of the end of World War II. Circulated “W” quarters can be worth $10-$20, and higher grades can be worth significantly more.
– “S” mint mark (San Francisco Mint): Quarters from the San Francisco Mint are typically proof coins not released into circulation and are often more valuable, especially in pristine condition.
- Errors: Certain minting errors can increase a coin’s value. Examples include:
– “Faceless Bat” error (American Samoa Quarter): This error on some Philadelphia (“P”) mint quarters shows a faint or missing face on the mother bat and can be worth $50 to $500 or more.
– Missing clad layer (American Samoa Quarter): A rare error on a Denver-minted quarter where 98% of the reverse clad layer is missing, valued at up to $2,499.
– Off-center strikes and doubled dies: These errors can be found on various 2020 quarters and are also sought after by collectors, with values typically ranging from $20 to over $200 depending on severity.
In summary, while most 2020 quarters are worth face value, those in uncirculated condition, with “W” or “S” mint marks, or having rare errors are more valuable to collectors.
