LUCKY FIND I found an extremely rare ‘double die’ quarter in a coin roll worth up to $200 – the exact details to look for

COIN fans will want to keep an eye out for errors on their pieces – as “double die” versions can make them hundreds of dollars.

TikTok user Diggin Dave, who is a fan of coin roll hunting and metal detecting, recently did this exact thing.

TikTok user Diggin Dave found a George Washington bicentennial quarter minted in 1976

It could be worth up to $200 according to Dave, but a similar version sold for $3,246 at an auction a few years ago

While going through a coin roll, he claims to have found a George Washington bicentennial quarter minted in 1976.

The text features a double die error, which means the coin could be worth $150 to $200, according to Dave.

The error refers to the duplicate of particular elements on the coin.

In this case, the letters “R”, “E” and “B” in the word Liberty were all doubled on the left-hand side.

The coin was first produced in 1975 in celebration of the 200th anniversary of the independence of the US.

It was minted in the years 1975 and 1976 and features the dual dates of 1776-1976 on the actual coin.

Dave said in the video: “I just found an incredible find. I actually found one last year, it’s extremely rare.

“I always check my 1976 Denver bicentennial quarters for the FS-101, or double die.

He then put the coin under a microscope to show the doubling of the text, and added: “Very rare quarter I just found in a roll.”

As always, the value of any coin is only how much someone else is willing to pay for it.

In other words, you’re not guaranteed to get hundreds or thousands if you have a similar one.

In 2019, a double die Denver bicentennial quarter sold for $3,246, according to the Professional Coin Grading Service.

Meanwhile, in July 2022, another bicentennial quarter sold for $128 on eBay after attracting eight bids.

It didn’t have the double die error, but had instead been struck off-center.

Is your small change worth a fortune?

If you believe you have a rare coin then you may be able to make a real mint.

The most valuable coins are usually those with a low mintage or an error, as they’re deemed the most valuable by collectors.

To find out if your small change could be worth a fortune, check how much the specific coins are selling for on eBay.

Search the full name of the coin, select the “sold” listing and then toggle the search to “highest value”.

It will give you an idea of the amount of money that the coin is going for.

You can either choose to sell the coin on eBay or through a specialist site such as Coinappraiser or USA Coin Book.

If you choose eBay, remember to set a minimum price that is higher or at the very least equal to the face value of the coin – or you’ll make a loss.

You also need to be aware that even if your coin “sells” on eBay for a high price there’s no guarantee that the buyer will pay up.

In its terms and conditions, eBay states that bidders enter a “legally binding contract to purchase an item”, but there’s no way to enforce this rule.

The most eBay can do is add a note to their account for the unpaid item or remove their ability to bid and buy.
