Next time you get some change, don’t just stash it in a jar or spend it without a second glance. You might be surprised at what you find.

While the days of million-dollar coins turning up in spare change are pretty rare, there are still plenty of valuable coins circulating out there. From pennies to quarters, you could have more than just pocket change in your hand.

So, take a closer look before you cash out—that coin you’re about to give away might just be worth a second look, and maybe even more than face value. Here’s 15 to look out for.

1943 Copper Penny

Value: Up to $85,000

Keep your eyes peeled for the 1943 Copper Penny, which might just be lying in your change jar! This particular penny can fetch up to $85,000 due to how rare it is. It was produced in a time when most pennies were made from zinc-coated steel to conserve copper for the war effort. Yet, a few copper coins managed to strike their way into circulation. Only about 10-15 of these pennies came from the Philadelphia Mint, one from Denver, and roughly five from San Francisco.

1969-S Doubled Die Penny

Value: Up to $50,000

Like its 1955 counterpart, this penny features doubled dates and inscriptions, but it’s even rarer. It’s estimated that only 40-50 of these coins are in existence, pushing their value up to a staggering $50,000! The doubling occurred under different circumstances than the 1955 penny, making each find a unique piece of numismatic history.

1955 Double Die Penny

Value: Up to $1,800

Here’s another one you might find interesting: the 1955 Double Die Penny. This coin can be worth up to $1,800 and is easy to spot once you know what to look for. The error on these pennies resulted in double impressions of the date and inscriptions, making the “1955,” “LIBERTY,” and “IN GOD WE TRUST” appear twice. This minting mishap occurred during a snag in the production process, resulting in thousands of these unique coins.

1972 Doubled Die Penny

Value: $600 to $1,000

Valued between $600 and $1,000, these pennies can make quite the addition to your collection. This error resulted in the doubling of the date and words, much like the other doubled die pennies. With an estimated 20,000 of these coins thought to be in circulation, your chances of finding one are better than most. In fact, a high-grade version of this penny sold for $14,400 in 2019.

1992 Close AM Penny

Value: Up to $20,000

Have you ever noticed the tiny letters on your pennies? Next time, take a closer look at the 1992 pennies, specifically the “AM” in “America.” In the rare 1992 Close AM Penny, these letters are unusually close together—an error that could boost its value up to $20,000!

1999 Wide AM Penny

Value: Around $500

While you’re inspecting your pennies, don’t skip over the 1999 ones. Here’s what to look for: the “AM” in “America” should be notably spaced out. This variation, known as the Wide AM Penny, contrasts with the close-set letters of some earlier errors. If you find one with the letters distinctly apart, you could be holding a coin worth around $500.

1982 Small Date Copper Penny

Value: Up to $18,000

In 1982, a huge change hit the U.S. penny—shifting from copper to zinc. During this transition, some copper pennies managed to get the ‘Small Date’ design, making them rare finds today. If you come across a 1982 penny, look closely at the date. The smaller the numbers, the bigger the potential value, reaching up to $18,000.

2004-D Wisconsin State Quarter (Extra Leaf)

Value: Up to $6,000

Make sure to check your quarters too! Especially keep an eye out for the 2004-D Wisconsin State Quarter. What makes this quarter unique is an extra leaf on the corn stalk—a small detail that significantly increases its value. There are two variants: “Extra Leaf High” and “Extra Leaf Low,” depending on the position of the leaf. If you find one, you could have up to $6,000 sitting in your pocket!

2005-D Kansas State Quarter (“In God We Rust”)

Value: Upwards of $100

Next time you’re sorting through your quarters, pause on the 2005-D Kansas State Quarters. A unique printing error caused by a grease build-up resulted in some of these quarters displaying “In God We Rust” instead of the traditional “In God We Trust.” While they might fetch just $5 to $15 in circulated condition, those pristine, uncirculated examples can command upwards of $100.

1983 Doubled Die Reverse Quarter

Value: $50 to $100

For a more noticeable minting error, check out the 1983 Doubled Die Reverse Quarter. This coin features a clear doubling of the phrase “E Pluribus Unum” on its reverse side. While you don’t need a magnifying glass to spot this error, a careful look is essential. In circulation, these quarters can be valued between $50 and $100, but those in better condition are likely to bring in even more.

1999-P Connecticut Broadstruck Quarter

Value: $20 to $25

The 1999-P Connecticut pennies weren’t always centered correctly on the press during minting, leading to a broadstruck appearance where the details spread wider than usual, and some features might even be missing. If you find one with severe misalignments, it could be worth $20 to $25, and potentially more for significant errors.

2000-P Sacagawea Dollar (Wounded Eagle)

Value: Up to $7,200

Have a look at your 2000-P Sacagawea dollars. If you see what looks like a scratch or scar running through the eagle’s body on the reverse side, you might have the “Wounded Eagle” dollar. This error, resembling a deep line, adds significant value to the coin. Depending on its condition, this particular misprint can fetch varying prices, with the highest record being $7,200.

2007 Presidential Dollar (Missing Edge Lettering)

Value: Up to $1,000

Make sure to look out for the 2007 Presidential Dollar with missing edge lettering. Typically, these coins feature edge inscriptions like the date, mint mark, and mottos “E Pluribus Unum” and “In God We Trust.” However, a minting slip-up left a batch of these coins, especially those depicting George Washington and John Adams, without any edge inscriptions at all. Regularly circulating coins with this error fetch $50 to $100, but those in pristine condition can command up to $1,000.

1982 No Mint Mark Dime

Value: $50 to $1,000

Take a look at your dimes, particularly the ones from 1982, and check for the mint mark—or the lack thereof. The 1982 No Mint Mark Dime is a rarity; these were meant to bear a “P” from the Philadelphia Mint but missed the mark. There are two types to look out for: Strong Strikes, which have well-defined details and typically value around $50, and Weak Strikes, where the details aren’t as pronounced. Depending on the clarity and condition, Weak Strikes can vary greatly in value, potentially fetching anywhere from $50 to $1,000.

1995 Doubled Die Lincoln Penny

Value: $5 to $20

If you’re just getting into coin collecting, keep an eye out for the 1995 Doubled Die Lincoln Penny. This coin features clear doubling of the words “LIBERTY” and “IN GOD WE TRUST.” Despite the obvious error, its value ranges from a modest $5 to $20 because many are still in circulation. However, it remains a popular choice among collectors for its accessibility and the ease with which it can be spotted.

Pre-1965 Washington Quarter

Value: About $5

Turning to quarters, specifically those minted before 1965, you’ve got a hidden gem made of 90% silver. Unlike later quarters made from a copper-nickel alloy, these silver quarters hold intrinsic value due to their metal content. Just melting one down could net you about $5. However, if you have a 1932-D or 1932-S quarter, you might want to hold onto it or consider selling to a collector, as these can fetch several hundred dollars based on their condition and rarity.
