A single quarter could be worth more than $200 — and it has nothing to do with inflation.
The U.S. Sun recently reported that a rare quarter — minted in the year 2000 with an error on it — has sold for $216 on eBay
The coin is part of the state Washington quarters series featuring New Hampshire, but it was struck onto a Jefferson nickel
Rare Washington quarters minted in 1932 can sell for as much as $13,573, according to USA Coin Book
Error coins — like the Washington quarter which recently sold for $216 — are sometimes called double denominations
That’s because the mistake occurs to a blank coin (a “planchet”) during the minting process
The U.S. Sun explained that errors can happen when the wrong planchet is fed into the minting press, or the machine contains dies of different denominations
If you find a winner, you can sell it on eBay or through a variety of other online marketplaces
