Circulated coins typically trade at face value ($0.25). Uncirculated coins can be worth slightly more, depending on condition and mint mark. Special collector versions (such as those from proof sets) will have higher values.

Care & preservation

Handle the coin by its edges to avoid transferring oils from your skin. Store the coin in a cool, dry place, preferably in a coin holder or album designed for coin storage. Do not clean the coin with abrasive materials or chemicals, as this can damage its surface and reduce its value. For valuable coins, consult a professional coin conservator.
