1999 Connecticut state quarter errors to look for
Believe it or not, many 1999 Connecticut state quarters are worth far more than their 25-cent face value. Some 1999 State Quarters are even worth hundreds or thousands of dollars - no joke!
So… which Connecticut quarters are worth the big bucks? And which ones are worth just 25 cents?
What’s The Most Valuable 1999 Connecticut Quarter Error?
There’s one type of Connecticut quarter error worth as much as $10,000!
Apparently, a few of the 50 State Quarters from 1999 were struck on the planchets (coin blanks) designed for the Sacagawea dollar. These “experimental quarters” are quite rare - only a few were made representing each state (Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Georgia, Connecticut) from the first year of the 50 State Quarters series.
These are super rare and super valuable experimental planchet errors!
So… how can you tell if you’ve got a rare Connecticut quarter error struck on a Sacagawea dollar planchet or an ordinary quarter with gold toning?
Here are a few things you can check to see if you’ve got the rare Connecticut quarter error:
Weight - This Connecticut error quarter registers between 5.9 and 6.3 grams in weight - much heavier than the normal 5.67-gram weight for a regular copper-nickel clad Connecticut state quarter. (See my favorite coin scale.)
Thickness - Does your quarter look thicker than normal? A 1999 error quarter does.
Color - The Connecticut error coin will appear gold, or even greenish in color.
Edge - The 1999 Connecticut quarter error doesn’t contain any edge reeding (those vertical lines on the edge of a normal quarter) - this quarter has a smooth edge.
If any of your 1999 Connecticut state quarters seem to match the characteristics listed above, then it’s worth having it checked out by a numismatic professional. You can take your coin to a reputable coin dealer or have it certified by a third-party coin-grading company.
