Old Quarter bid up to $35,000
The important thing to look for is the fine print on the back. Thanks to a ghostly date on the tail side, one batch of quarters struck in 1970 can fetch a fortune at auction.
One of these rare coins has been bid up to $35,000 on eBay, according to ABC affiliate WPVI-TV in Philadelphia.
The quarter is part of a batch struck over Canadian coins with the date
1941, according to Good Housekeeping. What makes the quarter valuable to
collectors is an error: A “1941” persisted just above the word “dollar”
on the back of the coin. It takes a very close inspection to see the
date. The quarter on eBay is displayed in a case with a label reading
“1970 S 25C struck on 1941 Canada 25C 5.63 GR mint error PF 65.”
It’s just one example of coins that seem like ordinary pocket change but
could be worth a substantial amount. It might be worth that extra
search under the sofa cushions.
