Top 10 Most Valuable 2013 Quarter Worth Money

The 2013-P Perry’s Memorial graded MS70 tops the list at $4,235. That’s a circulation-strike quarter with zero detectable flaws. Think about how many hands a quarter passes through — finding one that’s literally perfect is almost unheard of.

Right behind it, the 2013-D and 2013-S Great Basin quarters sold for $1,995 and $1,950, both at MS68. At that grade, you’re looking at full mint luster and no marks visible to the naked eye. Most quarters never come close.

First Strike labels push prices higher too. PCGS calls it “First Strike,” NGC says “Early Releases” — both mean the coin was submitted within 30 days of release. The 2013-S Mount Rushmore First Strike MS68 brought $1,695, while its Fort McHenry counterpart hit $700.

Only four coins on this list broke $1,500. The rest landed between $432 and $750 — still serious money for a quarter, but within reach for most collectors.

History of The 2013 Quarter

The America the Beautiful program was born from the massive success of the 50 State Quarters series (1999–2008). Those coins proved that Americans genuinely enjoyed collecting quarters from circulation.

Congress passed the America’s Beautiful National Parks Quarter Dollar Coin Act of 2008, officially Public Law 110-456. President George W. Bush signed it on December 23, 2008.

Representative Mike Castle of Delaware introduced the bill. He’d also championed the State Quarters program years earlier. The new law called for 56 quarter designs over 11 years — one national site from each state, D.C., and the five U.S. territories.

Former Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner picked the final sites after consulting with state governors and the Secretary of the Interior. Each location had to be under federal control and work well as a coin design.

The 2013 quarters were the fourth year of the program — designs 16 through 20 — released roughly every 10 weeks from January through November. By this point, collectors knew the drill and looked forward to each new release.

Here’s something a lot of people miss: starting quietly in 2012, the San Francisco Mint began striking business-strike quarters again for the first time since 1954. These S-mint coins were sold only through U.S. Mint bags and rolls — they never entered bank distribution. Because they skipped the sorting and counting machines that beat up most coins, their average quality ran noticeably higher than P or D strikes.

Is Your 2013 Quarter Rare?

The Coin Identifier and Value App can show you exactly where your 2013 quarter stands in terms of rarity, based on mintage figures and grading population data.

Key Features of The 2013 Quarter

Knowing what to look for on a 2013 quarter helps you spot fakes, catch errors, and judge condition. All five designs share the same obverse, but each reverse is unique. Here’s what to check.

The Obverse Of The 2013 Quarter

Every 2013 quarter uses the same front design — George Washington’s left-facing portrait. John Flanagan originally sculpted it for the 1932 quarter, and William Cousins modified it for the State Quarters program in 1999.

You’ll see “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA” along the top rim and “QUARTER DOLLAR” at the bottom. “LIBERTY” sits to the left of Washington’s neck. “IN GOD WE TRUST” runs in three lines to the right of his hair. The mint mark (P, D, or S) is right below that motto — that’s the first thing to check.

The Reverse Of The 2013 Quarter

Flip it over and you’ll find one of five unique designs. All reverses share the year “2013” and the motto “E PLURIBUS UNUM.”

White Mountain (New Hampshire): Mt. Chocorua framed by birch trees, representing an iconic view of the national forest. Designed and engraved by Phebe Hemphill.

Perry’s Victory (Ohio): Statue of Master Commandant Oliver Hazard Perry in the foreground with the Peace Memorial column in the distance. Designed and engraved by Don Everhart.

Great Basin (Nevada): A single bristlecone pine tree set against rocky glacial moraines. Designed by Ronald D. Sanders and engraved by Renata Gordon.

Fort McHenry (Maryland): The historic fort with fireworks overhead, symbolizing the “rockets’ red glare” from The Star-Spangled Banner. Designed and engraved by Joseph Menna.

Mount Rushmore (South Dakota): Workers suspended in harnesses adding final details to Thomas Jefferson’s face, showing how the sculpture was created. Designed and engraved by Joseph Menna.

Other Features Of The 2013 Quarter

Standard circulation 2013 quarters are clad — a copper-nickel sandwich. The outer layers are 75% copper and 25% nickel, bonded to a pure copper core. Each coin weighs 5.67 grams, measures 24.26 mm across, and is 1.75 mm thick. Run your finger along the edge — those ridges are called reeding.

Silver proof versions from the San Francisco Mint contain 90% silver and 10% copper, weighing a slightly heavier 6.25 grams. Clad proofs were also struck at San Francisco with the same composition as circulation strikes but finished to a mirrored proof standard.

2013 Quarter Mintage & Survival Data

P Mount Rushmore leads the pack at 231,800,000 coins — more than three times the P White Mountain total of 68,800,000. That makes White Mountain the scarcest Philadelphia issue of the year by a wide margin.

Denver mintages ran even higher. The 2013-D Mount Rushmore hit 272,400,000 pieces. Meanwhile, San Francisco business strikes — sold only in mint bags and rolls — came in around 1.3 to 1.6 million per design. That’s a completely different kind of rare compared to P and D issues.

As of May 2025, PCGS reported just 8 examples of the 2013-S Mount Rushmore business strike graded MS70 out of 230 total grading events. NGC showed 24 coins at MS68 from 596 submissions. Those numbers tell you everything about how hard it is to find any modern quarter in top-pop condition.

The Easy Way to Know Your 2013 Quarter Value

Three things drive your coin’s value: mint mark, condition, and errors. Look for the mint mark (P, D, or S) below “IN GOD WE TRUST” on the obverse. Then check the surfaces for wear, luster, and strike sharpness.

For a quick estimate, the Coin Identifier and Value App lets you scan your 2013 quarter and get instant grade and value feedback.

2013 Quarter Value Guides

All five 2013 quarters come in P, D, S uncirculated, S clad proof, and S silver proof versions. Circulated examples are worth face value. Uncirculated coins start around $0.80 at MS65, and MS67 grades can reach $16 to $27 depending on the mint and design.

Silver proofs carry higher premiums thanks to their 90% silver content. They typically sell for $9 to $27 depending on grade, and melt value alone puts a floor under the price. Clad proofs are more budget-friendly at about $4 in PR68.

Here’s what to know about each design:

• 2013 White Mountain Quarter — Lowest P-mint figures of the year at 68.8 million
• 2013 Perry’s Memorial Quarter — Top auction record of $4,235 for a Philadelphia MS70
• 2013 Great Basin Quarter — Bristlecone pine design; S-mint MS70 population of 3 at PCGS
• 2013 Fort McHenry Quarter — Silver proofs carry notable premiums; part of rare 50,000-mintage Limited Edition Silver Proof Set
• 2013 Mount Rushmore Quarter — Coin of the Year winner 2014; highest P-mint circulation of the five issues

2013 White Mountain Quarter Value

Only 68,800,000 struck at Philadelphia — that’s the lowest P-mint total of any 2013 quarter by a long shot. If you’re cherrypicking rolls, this is the design to hunt for.

The coin shows Mt. Chocorua, one of New Hampshire’s most photographed peaks, as seen from the lake below. The mountain stands just under 3,500 feet and anchors White Mountain National Forest — over 750,000 acres of woodland established in 1918.

Circulated pieces trade at face value. Even uncirculated MS65 examples usually stay under $5. But once you hit MS67, prices jump to around $25 for Philadelphia strikes, roughly $46 for San Francisco, and about $20 for Denver. At MS68, certified populations get razor-thin and coins can reach $750.

Silver proofs are a solid entry point. Struck in 90% silver at San Francisco, PR70 pieces trade around $24, with melt value providing a price floor. One standout error — a 2013-P White Mountain graded MS64 with a 10% rotational misaligned die — sold for $555 at Heritage Auctions in 2016. It’s one of the most actively traded error coins from the entire 2013 set.

2013 Perry’s Memorial Quarter Value

$4,235 for a single quarter. That’s the record for the entire 2013 set, and it belongs to a Philadelphia-minted Perry’s Memorial graded MS70. A perfect circulation strike — everything had to go right for that coin to exist.

On South Bass Island in Lake Erie stands a 352-foot Doric column — the tallest in the United States — honoring a pivotal War of 1812 naval victory and the lasting peace that followed. Six officers who died in the Battle of Lake Erie are buried beneath it. Don Everhart designed the reverse, showing Master Commandant Oliver Hazard Perry with the memorial column behind him.

The First Strike price gaps on this issue tell an interesting story. A Philadelphia MS70 sold for $160 in 2023. A San Francisco MS67 brought $125. A Denver MS67? Just $12. Same label, wildly different prices — because population scarcity, not just the designation, is what drives the premium.

Here’s the full auction history for this issue.

And here’s how collector interest has tracked over recent months.

Market activity score: 40/100 as of Oct 2026 — up 5 points from Jul 2026. Currently at its 12-month peak.

2013 Great Basin Quarter Value

How do you fit a 4,000-year-old tree onto a quarter? Ronald D. Sanders figured it out. His design captures a single Great Basin bristlecone pine — the longest-lived non-clonal organism on Earth — set against rocky glacial moraines. Some specimens in the park are older than the Egyptian pyramids.

Circulated P and D strikes trade at face value. MS65 examples stay under $10. The real money shows up at MS68 and above. A 2013-D graded MS68+ with a “PQ SOLO FINEST REGISTRY SPOTLESS” MAC designation sold for $1,995 on eBay. The top S-mint record sits at $1,950 for an MS68.

Here’s the number that matters for registry set collectors: PCGS has certified just 3 examples of the 2013-S Great Basin in MS70. Three coins. I think that near-zero population, combined with the already limited San Francisco mintage, gives this issue unusual long-term appeal.

Below is the complete auction history for this design.

And here’s the past year’s market activity.

Market activity score: 40/100 as of Oct 2026 — up 5 points from Jul 2026. Currently at its 12-month peak.

2013 Fort McHenry Quarter Value

Most people assume the fireworks on this coin depict the 1814 British bombardment. They don’t. Designer Joseph Menna — who later became Chief Engraver of the U.S. Mint — intentionally showed the annual “Defenders Day” celebration instead, honoring the fort’s living commemorative tradition.

Fort McHenry is where Francis Scott Key watched the September 13–14, 1814 British naval assault from a ship in Chesapeake Bay. The flag still flying at dawn inspired the poem that became The Star-Spangled Banner.

Silver Proof versions feature deep cameo contrast — mirrored fields with frosted raised devices — and typically sell for $17 to $24 depending on grade. Clad proofs run about $4 in PR68.

If you’re chasing the 2013 Limited Edition Silver Proof Set, know that only 50,000 sets were produced. Each contained eight silver coins including all five ATB quarters and a Proof Silver Eagle. That tight mintage gives set coins a collectibility floor you won’t find in standard silver proof sets.

And the following chart illustrates its market activity over the past year.

Market activity score: 40/100 as of Oct 2026 — up 5 points from Jul 2026. Currently at its 12-month peak.

2013 Mount Rushmore Quarter Value

We think this is the best design in the entire 2013 set. Joseph Menna skipped the obvious frontal view of the monument and instead showed Gutzon Borglum’s crew dangling in harnesses, chiseling the final details on Thomas Jefferson’s face — the second presidential portrait completed at Rushmore, after Washington’s.

The coin launched on November 6, 2013, at the National Guard Armory in Custer, South Dakota. Nick Clifford, the last surviving worker who helped carve the memorial, attended the ceremony. Mount Rushmore draws about two million visitors a year and had already appeared on three 1991 commemorative coins marking the monument’s 50th anniversary.

That innovative perspective earned the Coin of the Year award for Best Circulating Coin from Krause Publications in 2014, beating 92 coins from 45 countries. Despite the high mintage, top-condition examples are scarce. As of October 2025, PCGS reports just 3 coins graded MS68, while NGC shows 18 at that level.

One fun collectible to look for: the “LB Treasure Hunt” label, handed out at the Long Beach Expo to young numismatists who completed a scavenger hunt across dealer booths. The top-graded MS65 example goes for around $75 — a great pickup if you collect numismatic youth outreach pieces.

The auction history table below traces this coin’s performance at major sales.

And here’s how collector demand has shifted over the past year.

Market activity score: 35/100 as of Oct 2026 — down 5 points from Jul 2026. 12-month peak: 41 (Nov 2025).

Rare 2013 Quarter  Error List

Most 2013 quarters are worth face value. But certain minting mistakes can turn a 25-cent coin into a serious find. Here’s what to look for when you’re going through rolls or checking your pocket change.

1. Doubled Die Obverse (DDO) & Doubled Die Reverse (DDR) Errors

Doubled die errors happen during die production. The hub — the master tool that presses the design into working dies — has to line up perfectly each time. When it doesn’t, you get design elements appearing twice at slightly offset positions.

On Mount Rushmore quarters, doubling has been spotted at the crook of Jefferson’s nose and along the hairline. On the obverse, grab a loupe and look closely at “LIBERTY” and “IN GOD WE TRUST” — you’re looking for a crisp mechanical shadow next to each letter. A 2013-D Mount Rushmore quarter graded MS60 with a confirmed DDO error sold for $200 at online auction in 2014.

Here’s the key to cherrypicking these: genuine hub doubling shows rounded, separated lines that catch light from different angles. Machine doubling — worth nothing — looks flat and shelf-like. Always compare your suspect coin to reference images on PCGS CoinFacts or Variety Vista before paying for a submission.

2. Misaligned Die (Rotated Die) Errors

U.S. coins use “coin alignment” — flip a properly struck quarter top to bottom and the reverse should appear upside down at exactly 180 degrees. When dies rotate out of position during installation or striking, you get a rotated die error.

Rotation is measured as a percentage deviation from that 180-degree standard. Minor examples show 5–8% rotation. Dramatic ones exceed 15%. Coins with a visible date and heavy rotation bring the strongest prices.

A 2013-P White Mountain quarter with a 10% misaligned die error graded MS64 sold at Heritage Auctions in 2016 for $555. Milder rotations (5–10%) typically trade for $20 to $75, while anything over 20% can push above $200.

3. Rim Cud Errors

Rim cuds are raised, irregular bumps along a coin’s edge. They form when a die cracks near the rim, creating a void. Metal flows into that void during striking and leaves a lump on the finished coin.

Bigger cuds get more attention — especially when they overlap design elements. A 2013-D Great Basin quarter graded MS62 with a rim cud sold at Heritage Auctions in 2016 for $440. A 2013-P White Mountain quarter MS64 with a large rim cud brought $725 in a 2020 Stack’s Bowers auction.

4. Missing Clad Layer Errors

Your 2013 quarter should be silver-colored on both sides. If one side looks copper-orange, you might have a missing clad layer error. That happens when one of the outer copper-nickel layers fails to bond to the copper core during production.

On the obverse, Washington’s portrait sits on a copper-colored surface. On the reverse, the park design takes on a reddish hue with softer detail. An eBay buyer paid $362 in 2017 for a 2013-D Perry’s Victory quarter graded MS62 with an obverse clad error. These generally start at $75 to $100 and can top $200 for dramatic reverse-side examples.

5. Struck-Through Errors

A struck-through error happens when something gets trapped between the die and the planchet at the moment of striking. The obstruction blocks full contact, leaving a distorted or faded area on the coin.

Grease is the most common culprit — it leaves design details flat and washed out. You’ll also see metal shavings, cloth fibers, and other debris. In 2018, GreatCollections auctioned a 2013-D Perry’s Victory quarter graded MS63 with a grease struck-through error for $412. Typical grease-filled examples trade for $10 to $40. Solid-object impressions — where you can actually identify the shape pressed into the coin — can bring $50 to $150 or more.

6. Die Crack Errors

Dies are hardened steel, but they still crack under the stress of thousands of high-pressure strikes. As a crack widens, planchet metal fills it during striking, leaving a raised line on the finished coin.

Cracks running through major design elements or spanning the full coin width attract the most interest. A 2013-P South Dakota (Mount Rushmore) quarter graded MS63 with a prominent die crack sold for $280 at online auction in 2015. Subtle cracks on common dates add modest value — typically $5 to $25 above grade value.

FAQ About 2013 Quarter Value

1. Are 2013 America the Beautiful quarters worth more than face value?

Most circulated P and D examples? Just face value. Uncirculated coins start around $0.80 at MS65, and MS68 grades have hit $750 or more. The S-mint business strikes, with mintages of roughly 1.3 to 1.6 million, typically bring three to four times face value in any uncirculated grade.

2. What makes 2013 Mount Rushmore quarters special?

It won the Coin of the Year “Best Circulating Coin” award from Krause Publications in 2014, beating 92 coins from 45 countries. Joseph Menna showed workers on harnesses finishing Jefferson’s face instead of the usual frontal view. Nick Clifford, the last surviving sculptor who worked on the memorial, attended the launch ceremony.

3. What designs were released in the 2013 quarter series?

Five designs honored national sites: White Mountain National Forest (New Hampshire, released January 28), Perry’s Victory Memorial (Ohio, April 1), Great Basin National Park (Nevada, June 10), Fort McHenry Monument (Maryland, August 26), and Mount Rushmore Memorial (South Dakota, November 4). Each design was released in the chronological order the sites were federally recognized.

4. What is the most valuable 2013 quarter ever sold?

$4,235 for a 2013-P Perry’s Memorial graded MS70 by PCGS. MS70 means zero post-production imperfections at 5× magnification. Very few circulation-strike quarters of any year reach that grade.

5. What does the “S” mint mark mean on a 2013 quarter?

It stands for the San Francisco Mint. For 2013, “S” quarters came in three forms: business-strike uncirculated coins sold in mint bags and rolls (never entering circulation), clad proofs, and 90% silver proofs. San Francisco hadn’t produced business-strike quarters since 1954 before resuming in 2012.

6. How can I tell if my 2013 quarter has a doubled die error?

Grab a 10× loupe and check “LIBERTY” and “IN GOD WE TRUST” on the obverse. Genuine DDO errors show crisp, mechanically separated lines with rounded edges that catch light differently at various angles. Machine doubling — not a collectible error — looks flat and shelf-like. On Mount Rushmore quarters specifically, the nose area on the Jefferson carving is where doubling shows up most often.

7. What is a First Strike label and does it add value?

It means the coin was submitted to the grading service within 30 days of its official release. PCGS calls it “First Strike,” NGC says “Early Releases.” In 2013, these labels expanded to include coins from all three mints when the Mint began direct bag and roll sales. A 2013-P Perry’s Memorial First Strike MS70 sold for $160 in 2023 — well above a non-labeled example at the same grade.

8. What is a missing clad layer error on a 2013 quarter and what is it worth?

One of the copper-nickel outer layers either didn’t bond during production or peeled away before striking, exposing the copper core. The affected side looks orange-red with softer detail. A 2013-D Perry’s Victory quarter graded MS62 with an obverse clad error sold for $362 in 2017. These generally start at $75 to $100 and can exceed $200 for dramatic reverse examples.

9. How does a clad proof 2013 quarter differ from a silver proof?

Both come from San Francisco with mirrored fields and frosted devices — the Deep Cameo (DCAM) finish. The difference is metal. Clad proofs use the same copper-nickel sandwich as circulation coins, weigh 5.67 grams, and sell for around $4 in PR68. Silver proofs are 90% silver and 10% copper, weigh 6.25 grams, and carry intrinsic melt value above their numismatic price — selling for $9 to $27 depending on grade.

10. Why does the 2013 Limited Edition Silver Proof Set matter for 2013 quarter collectors?

Only 50,000 sets were made. Each contained eight silver coins — all five ATB quarters plus a Proof Silver Eagle. Coins inside are numismatically identical to standard silver proofs, but that tight mintage creates a collector premium for intact sets. It’s one of the more sought-after modern proof sets from the year.
