coins

I envy those who find rare old coins and cash them in for small fortunes. That's not realistic for the rest of us though. However, did you know there are quarters that are only a couple of years old in Missouri that you could easily find and cash in for big bucks if they have certain errors? It's true and I'll show you.

Missouri has a billion dollars in unclaimed property that is never spoken for. There's a one in ten chance that they have something meant for you based on statistics. There's an easy way to find out if you're one of the lucky ones.

I have always been fascinated with treasure hunts, but have never been able to afford a trip to pretend I'm Indiana Jones. But, did you know that you can check your pockets for dimes that might have a big payoff? Find one missing a letter in Missouri and you'll easily be able to buy a mansion.

I don't think I'm telling you something you don't know when I say that a penny is normally worth one cent. But, did you know that it's possible to find certain pennies in circulation in Missouri that could be worth 5 figures (or more)?

It's time to check your pockets because there's a rare dime out there somewhere in Missouri that could be worth up to half a million bucks if you can find one with something key missing.

I was admittedly never good at math, but even I know that a quarter is not worth 9,000 bucks except that I'm technically wrong. There is one error on a 1965 quarter that does make it worth even more than $9,000.

Coins don't always have to be rare to be valuable. That's the case for a 1984 penny you might easily come across in Illinois. There are many that have an error on Lincoln's ear that could make them worth thousands.

It's hard to believe that pennies still in circulation in Missouri can be worth this much money, but collectors swear it's true. As a matter of fact, a video claims that there's one penny that isn't that old that can be worth up to 4,000 bucks if it has one simple area.

This is why I really need to check my wife's penny jar. There are a handful of 1943 pennies in circulation that have one unique feature that means if you find it in Missouri, you're likely a millionaire.

When is a quarter worth up to 2,000 bucks? When it's a Wisconsin quarter that has one variation that suddenly makes it worth big time moolah.
