How much is a gold quarter worth?

Answer 1

If there was a piece of gold the same weight, size, and shape of a Quarter, it'd now be worth $173.19! Circulation-issue Bicentennial quarters were only struck in cupronickel, like all other circulation quarters since 1965. In fact, no gold coins have been struck for circulation since 1933.

A lot of private companies put a thin plating of gold on ordinary quarters and sell them at significant markups. You can find the same thing done to the current series of state quarters. However the plating is generally so thin that it only adds a couple of cents to the coin's actual value.

In addition, from a numismatic standpoint these coins are considered to be novelty items because they were altered outside of the mint, so they do not have any special value to mainstream coin collectors.

Answer 2

Please post a new, separate question with more details. There has never been a platinum penny. For one thing it would be worth a lot more than 1 cent for its metal content!

• Britain strikes "Maundy pennies" in silver but these are only for collectors and gifts.
• The US struck cents from cupronickel around the time of the Civil War and some of these can appear whitish in color.
• The US also made cents from steel in 1943 due to copper shortages.
• Current US cents are made of copper-plated zinc; these too can appear silver in color if the coating is removed.

Answer 3

The US does not make platinum quarters because everyone would keep them for the platinum that is inside them and they would be worth way more than a quarter.
