Will Any Modern Coins Ever Appreciate in Value?
Believe it or not, the answer is YES! Take the U.S. Mint’s State Quarters for instance, namely the ones released in the year 2000. These would include Massachusetts, Maryland, South Carolina, New Hampshire, and Virginia.
Did you collect state quarters? If so, you may have some real treasures. The PCGS website lists the 2000-P Massachusetts, in MS-69 grade, at a whopping $7,000. The 2000-D is listed at $9,000 and the 2000-P South Carolina lists for $8,000.
Granted, a MS-69 is nearly a perfect coin, but could any of yours grade that high? If so, everyone who thought collecting these quarters was a waste of time and resources is in for a shock. Makes you want to dig through those quarter stashes, doesn’t it?
Also, some from 2001 are listed in the four-figure range, particularly the North Carolina, the Rhode Island, and the Kentucky quarters struck at the Philadelphia Mint. You might want to take a closer look at quarters from these two years again.
Even some of the quarters from other years have values that would surprise you.
