The Valuable 2013 Quarter Errors (Complete Guide)
The 2013 America the Beautiful quarters produced a range of documented mint errors and die varieties across all five designs. This guide covers the most collector-sought examples, with visual diagnostics, known sales, and what makes each one worth hunting for. These errors appear on both Philadelphia and Denver coins — any design can be the source.
Doubled Die Obverse (DDO)
A doubled die obverse occurs when the working die receives multiple impressions from the hub at slightly offset angles during its production. Every coin struck from that die carries the doubled image permanently — it is a die variety, not a one-off mistake, meaning multiple coins can exist with the same doubling signature.
On 2013 quarters, the DDO shows most dramatically on the Mount Rushmore design, where collectors have documented visible doubling on Washington's nose and the surrounding hair curls. The Fort McHenry and Perry's Victory designs have also produced confirmed DDO examples visible under a 10× loupe.
Collectors pay a premium because confirmed die varieties can be cross-referenced with published variety lists, authenticated objectively, and graded by PCGS and NGC. A 2013-D Mount Rushmore quarter graded MS60 with a DDO sold for $200 at online auction in 2014; stronger doubling on MS65+ specimens can push values toward $300 or beyond in active auction markets.
Missing Clad Layer
Modern quarters use a copper-nickel clad sandwich: an inner copper core bonded between two outer nickel-copper layers. A missing clad layer error occurs when a planchet enters the press with one outer nickel layer absent, leaving that face with a distinctive copper-brown appearance rather than the expected silver-white tone.
This error is visually unmistakable without any magnification. One face of the coin is copper-colored while the other remains normal. The struck designs are still clear and fully defined — only the surface metal is wrong. A documented 2013-D Perry's Victory quarter with an obverse missing clad layer error has been confirmed by numismatic sources.
Collectors find missing clad layer errors genuinely desirable because their dramatic visual contrast makes authentication straightforward and condition almost self-evident. The error cannot be faked through alteration — a genuine missing layer coin will also be slightly lighter than a normal quarter (missing one layer reduces weight measurably), providing an additional verification method with a precision scale.
Off-Center Strike
An off-center strike happens when a planchet enters the collar die misaligned, so the two hammer dies strike only a portion of the coin's surface. The result is a design that appears shifted to one side, with a blank crescent of unstruck planchet metal visible on the opposite side — more dramatic the higher the off-center percentage.
For 2013 quarters, collector value scales sharply with the degree of misalignment. Minor strikes of 10–20% off-center are more common and bring $20–$40. Major strikes of 50–70% off-center, where the date and mint mark are still visible (critical for attribution), command $100 and higher. Coins that are more than 70% off-center often lose the date entirely, which sharply reduces their value despite the dramatic visual impact.
The key diagnostic for maximum value is visibility of the date "2013" and the mint mark in the struck portion. Collectors and grading services require this attribution to certify the coin's year and mint. Documented off-center 2013 quarters appear across all five America the Beautiful designs, with no single design emerging as predominantly scarcer than others in this error category.
Die Cud & Major Die Break
A die cud forms when a piece of the working die itself breaks away near the rim during use. Metal flows into the void left by the broken die fragment, creating a raised, amorphous blob — often featureless — that juts above the coin's normal surface. Because a cud only forms near the end of a die's serviceable life, the total population of coins bearing a full cud from any given die is always limited.
On 2013 quarters, die cuds are most frequently documented on the Great Basin National Park design, where a 2013-D MS62 example with a rim cud is a known collectible find. The Mount Rushmore and Fort McHenry designs have also produced die breaks that approach cud status, particularly on later production runs when dies were used beyond their optimal striking life.
Value depends on the cud's size, placement, and visual impact. A small interior die chip might bring only $5–$15, while a large rim cud that obliterates lettering or design elements commands $50–$75 and above. Placement near a prominent design feature — or overlapping Washington's portrait — increases desirability significantly among error coin specialists.
Misaligned Die / Rotated Die Error
A misaligned die error — sometimes also called a rotated die error — occurs when one of the two dies (obverse or reverse) is not properly aligned within the press collar. In normal production, U.S. coins use coin-turn alignment: the reverse should be 180° from the obverse when you flip the coin vertically. Any deviation from this standard constitutes a rotational error, and significant deviations of 30°–180° are the most collectible.
The most notable documented example from the 2013 series is a 2013-P White Mountain quarter graded MS64 with approximately a 10% rotational die misalignment. This example sold for $555 at Heritage Auctions in 2016, making it one of the highest-priced non-grade-rarity 2013 quarter error sales on record. The misalignment was confirmed and certified, and the coin attracted competitive bidding from error specialists.
To verify a rotational error, hold the coin at its edges and flip it on its vertical axis — the reverse design should appear upright. If the reverse is rotated clockwise or counterclockwise by more than approximately 15°, you may have a collectible die alignment error. The greater the rotation, the more dramatic and valuable the variety. Strong examples (45°+ rotation) are scarce across all America the Beautiful designs.

Composition note: Circulating P and D issues are copper-nickel clad copper (75% Cu / 25% Ni outer layers over a pure copper core), weighing 5.67 g, diameter 24.3 mm. S Silver Proof issues are 90% silver / 10% copper, weighing 6.25 g. Designer: John Flanagan (obverse) / Don Everhart and various reverse designers.
Survival rates: Given enormous P and D mintages, survival in worn/circulated grades approaches near 100% of production. High-grade (MS67+) survival is extremely thin — a fraction of a percent — which is why these grades command such dramatic premiums. S-mint collector business strikes were sold directly to collectors and survive at much higher uncirculated rates relative to their mintages.

How to Grade Your 2013 Quarter
Grading modern clad quarters is primarily about surface preservation, not wear patterns. Because 2013 quarters were made in enormous quantities, condition is almost everything — the difference between MS64 and MS67 can be hundreds of dollars.
Washington's high points — cheek, hair curls — show smooth, flat wear. Design still visible but lacks fine detail. All lettering readable but lacks crispness. For 2013 quarters, essentially worth face value ($0.25) regardless of design or mint.
Slight wear on Washington's cheekbone and the highest hair curls only. Some original luster visible in protected areas. Design details remain sharp. Still worth near face value for most 2013 P and D issues — perhaps $0.50–$1.25 for AU examples.
No wear at all; full original mint luster. Contact marks (bag marks) visible to the naked eye or under a loupe. Washington's cheek may show scattered marks. Worth $2–$20 for most designs. MS66 begins to show real collector interest in the $8–$20 range.
Essentially mark-free to the naked eye. Full, brilliant cartwheel luster with outstanding eye appeal. Any contact marks under magnification are minimal. This is where the dramatic value cliff begins: $20–$4,235 depending on design, mint, and population. MS68 becomes a condition rarity for all 2013 issues.
🔍 CoinKnow lets you cross-check your coin against graded examples by uploading a photo directly from your phone — a coin identifier and value app — to help confirm whether the cartwheel luster and surface quality match a specific grade tier.
Where to Sell Your Valuable 2013 Quarter
If your 2013 quarter grades MS67 or higher, or has a confirmed significant error, it may be worth more than you think. Here are the four best venues, matched to different situations.
🏆 Heritage Auctions
Best for: MS68+ examples, confirmed error coins, certified top-pop registry pieces.
Heritage is the largest numismatic auction house in the world and routinely handles high-grade ATB quarters. The $4,235 Perry's Victory sale occurred on eBay rather than Heritage, but Heritage has extensive bidder networks for certified coins grading MS67 and above. Their buyer premiums reduce net proceeds but their audience is deep.
🛒 eBay
Best for: Certified coins at all grade levels, error coins with clear documentation, S-mint business strikes.
The 2013-P Perry's Victory MS70 record of $4,235 was set on eBay — the platform's reach to specialized collectors is enormous. Check recently sold 2013 quarter listings with actual prices to set a competitive asking price before listing. Always include a professional PCGS or NGC holder scan in your listing images.
🏪 Local Coin Shop (LCS)
Best for: Quick cash on circulated examples, S-mint business strikes, silver proof sets.
Local dealers offer immediate payment without listing fees, but typically pay 50–70% of retail for common examples. For a circulated 2013 quarter worth $0.25, there's nothing to negotiate. For silver proof sets or uncirculated rolls, an LCS buyer can be a fast and fair outlet without the waiting period of auction.
📱 Reddit (r/Coins4Sale)
Best for: Mid-range MS65–67 examples, interesting errors without formal certification, direct collector sales.
The r/Coins4Sale and r/coincollecting communities allow direct peer-to-peer sales with no platform fees. Buyers here are often knowledgeable collectors who appreciate variety coins. Photos, weight confirmation, and honest condition descriptions get the best response. Not ideal for coins worth over a few hundred dollars without certification.
Frequently Asked Questions — 2013 Quarter Value
How much is a 2013 quarter worth?
Most circulated 2013 quarters from Philadelphia (P) or Denver (D) are worth face value — $0.25. Uncirculated examples start around $2–$5 at MS65. At MS67, values jump to $20–$43 depending on design and mint. At MS68 and above, these coins become condition rarities worth $100 to over $4,000. The all-time record is $4,235 for a 2013-P Perry's Victory graded MS70 by PCGS, sold on eBay in August 2023.
Which 2013 quarter design is worth the most?
In terms of top auction records, the 2013-P Perry's Victory quarter holds the series record at $4,235 for an MS70 example. The 2013-D Fort McHenry has reached $2,070, and the 2013-S Great Basin and Mount Rushmore have achieved $690 and $1,470 respectively in top grades. The 2013-P White Mountain is notable for having the lowest Philadelphia mintage of the year at 68.8 million.
What makes a 2013 quarter valuable?
Three factors drive value: grade (condition), mint mark, and the presence of an error. For P and D mint coins, value concentrates almost entirely in MS67 and above — these become condition rarities despite high mintages. S-mint business strikes start at $2–$8 at MS65 due to lower mintages of roughly 1.3–1.6 million. Silver proof versions carry additional melt value. Error coins — such as doubled dies, missing clad layers, or off-center strikes — can command significant premiums regardless of grade.
What 2013 quarter errors are worth money?
The most valuable 2013 quarter errors include: doubled die obverse (DDO) — especially on Mount Rushmore, worth $15–$300+ depending on severity and grade; missing clad layer, which exposes the copper core and is highly visible, worth $50–$200+; off-center strikes (50–70% off-center with visible date) worth $100+; die cud errors worth $5–$50; and misaligned die errors. A 2013-P White Mountain MS64 with a 10% rotational misaligned die sold for $555 at Heritage Auctions.
How do I tell if my 2013 quarter is silver?
Circulating 2013 quarters from Philadelphia (P) and Denver (D) are copper-nickel clad — they are NOT silver. Only the 2013-S Silver Proof quarters, sold in special U.S. Mint collector sets, are 90% silver. These weigh 6.25 grams versus 5.67 grams for clad versions. If you have an S mint mark, check if it came from a proof set — the mirrored surface is a giveaway. Silver proofs are worth $9–$36 depending on grade.
What is the 2013-P White Mountain quarter worth?
Circulated examples are worth $0.25. The 2013-P White Mountain has the lowest Philadelphia mintage of the 2013 series at 68,800,000, making high-grade examples relatively more valuable. MS65 coins bring around $4–$5, MS67 reaches $22–$25, and MS68 can hit $230 or more. A misaligned die example graded MS64 sold for $555 at Heritage Auctions in 2016, representing one of the most notable error sales from this issue.
What does the S mint mark mean on a 2013 quarter?
The S mint mark on a 2013 quarter indicates it was struck at the San Francisco Mint. San Francisco produced three types of 2013 quarters: collector-grade business strikes (sold in mint bags/rolls, not released to circulation) with mintages of roughly 1.3–1.6 million per design; clad proof coins struck to mirror-like finish; and 90% silver proof coins. S-mint business strikes carry modest premiums over face value even in circulated grades, and silver proofs have intrinsic metal value on top of numismatic value.
Should I get my 2013 quarter graded by PCGS or NGC?
Professional grading by PCGS or NGC is economically justified only if your 2013 quarter appears to grade MS67 or higher, or if it exhibits a significant error or variety. Grading fees typically run $20–$40 per coin. An MS67 may be worth $20–$43, an MS68 can reach $100–$2,000+, and those spreads justify the cost. For circulated or lower-grade uncirculated examples, grading costs exceed the coin's market value. Proof coins grading PR70 may also be worth submitting.
How many 2013 quarters were made?
The U.S. Mint struck over 1.455 billion circulating 2013 quarters across Philadelphia and Denver combined. The five designs ranged from 176.4 million (White Mountain) to 504.2 million (Mount Rushmore) in combined P+D mintage. San Francisco produced collector business strikes of roughly 1.3–1.6 million per design, plus clad proofs (around 911,000–950,000 each) and silver proofs (579,409 each). The 2013-P White Mountain at 68.8 million was the scarcest individual P-mint issue.
What is the 2013 Perry's Victory quarter worth?
The 2013-P Perry's Victory quarter holds the entire 2013 America the Beautiful series record at $4,235 for an MS70 example sold on eBay in August 2023. Circulated examples are worth face value. MS65 brings about $4, MS67 around $43, and MS68 up to $1,000. The Denver issue (131.6 million struck) is more common; its top grade examples are worth somewhat less. Silver proof versions sell for $9–$36 in grades PR68–PR70 DCAM.
