What's Your New Jersey State Quarter Worth?

The New Jersey state quarter, released in 1999 as part of the 50 State Quarters Program, has a face value of 25 cents. But for collectors, its worth can be higher.

Face Value vs. Collector Value

• Circulated: Worth exactly 25¢—spend it freely.
• Uncirculated (Mint State): Typically $1–$5 depending on grade (MS-63 to MS-67).
• Proof/Silver Proof: 1999-S proof (clad) ~$5–$10; silver proof ~$15–$30.
• Complete Sets: A full 50-state quarter set in original packaging commands a premium.

Key Factors Affecting Value

Condition: No wear, original luster, minimal contact marks increase value.
Mint Mark: "P" (Philadelphia), "D" (Denver), "S" (San Francisco proof).
Errors: Rare mint errors (off-center, double die) can be worth hundreds.

Bottom Line

Check your change—you might have a quarter worth more than face value. For accurate appraisal, consult a coin dealer or grading service like PCGS or NGC.
