A FOUR year old quarter has been valued at $10,000.
Shaun, who runs the rare coin TikTok account @blueridgesilverhound, recently profiled a super high-quality and rare quarter minted in 2019.

That year, the US Mint decided to release quarters minted at the West Point Mint.
These were the first-ever circulating quarters produced at this mint and were part of the America the Beautiful quarter series.
Each quarter has a W on the obverse, signifying where it came from.
According to expert coin appraiser PCGS, only two million of these quarters were minted, which is a historically low amount.

"To paint a picture of the significance of the 2M mintage per 2019-W design, one would have to go all the way back to the 1937-S Quarter to find a circulating example with a lower mintage (1.6M coins)," Robert Finley from PCGS wrote.
RARE AND PRISTINE
The 2019-W Shaun profiled is an America the Beautiful San Antonio Missions National Park edition, honoring the 1700s Spanish missions which were the forerunner of the city of San Antonio.
It's one of five 2019-W America the Beautiful quarters.
Adding to the coin's rareness is its rare quality.
It's rated MS69 by PCGS
That is just one point shy of a perfect score of MS70.
PCGS described MS69 coins as "virtually fully struck with miniscule imperfections visible upon close inspection."
Because of its quality and low circulation, this quarter sold for $10,668 after a seller's fee at a Great Collections auction earlier this month.
MORE VALUABLE FINDS
Shaun has profiled other rare and expensive quarters.
He recently went over a Montana state quarter that sold for over $6,000 due to a "double denomination" error.
The quarter was mistakenly struck on an already minted Jefferson nickel.
Before that, Shaun detailed a 2000 Massachusetts state quarter that sold for $12,075 due to an overstruck error.
The coin was mistakenly struck over a Georgia state quarter from the previous year.
