- Regular-struck versions of the 2000 South Carolina State Quarter are typically worth around $5.
- Proof versions can be worth around $70.
- Quarters with rare error variations can be significantly more valuable, potentially reaching hundreds or even thousands of dollars.
However, if you’re interested in the value of colonial currency issued by South Carolina in 1788, then note that:
- South Carolina issued currency in pounds, shillings, and pence until 1793.
- Some of these colonial notes are very rare and can be valuable, especially if they are from earlier series.
- In 1788, £125,000 in Special Indents were issued for taxes from 1784-1788, [according to Greysheet].
