The value of a coin from 1788 depends on several factors, including its country of origin, denomination, condition (grade), and rarity.
For example, a 1788 Massachusetts Copper Cent in Mint State (MS) condition can be worth anywhere from $155 to $29,000, depending on specific variations and whether it has a period after the date. Some rare variants, like those with errors or unique features, can fetch even higher prices.
If the coin you’re referring to is one of the 1788 quarters issued as part of the 50 State Quarters Program, it’s important to clarify that these were minted much later (e.g., in 1999 or 2000) and feature the date 1788 to commemorate the year the state entered the Union. These typically hold their face value of 25 cents. However, specific error coins within this series can be very valuable, with some selling for thousands of dollars.
In general, to get an accurate appraisal of your specific coin, it’s recommended to consult with a reputable coin dealer or a professional coin grading service like PCGS or NGC. They can examine your coin and provide a more precise valuation based on its unique characteristics.
Is a 1788 coin rare?
The 1788-2001 New York Quarter is a rare coin.
What quarter is worth 7000 dollars?
Thanks for asking. There’s a 1965 quarter with no mint mark worth $7,000 because it was made on the wrong metal (silver instead of copper-nickel clad).
