Collectibility and Rare Varieties

The condition of America the Beautiful Quarters significantly impacts their value, with uncirculated and proof coins commanding higher prices. Some years have lower mintages, making them more desirable to collectors. Special silver proof versions and certain mint marks (like the 2019-W) can also increase rarity and value. Errors, such as doubled dies or off-center strikes, can greatly enhance a coin’s worth to collectors.
