I’ve always been obsessed with the idea that something I currently have in my house could be worth a ton of money.
Even as a kid, I dreamed of finding an arrowhead or piece of ancient pottery in my backyard — basically anything from the history books that would make me a pretty penny.
Obviously, I never found anything incredible in my yard, but maybe someday I’ll find something in my wallet.
After discovering that there’s a penny still in circulation that is worth $85,000, I immediately looked through my change jar.
While I didn’t find the valuable penny, I did start wondering about other coins — specifically quarters — that could be worth a ton of money.
You might assume that to have any coin worth a fortune, you’d have to find something that’s hundreds of years old. However, you might be surprised to know that some quarters minted within your lifetime could be worth thousands.
