Rare Barber quarter sells for $35,250 - the exact date to look for under the neck
A COIN collector has shelled out $35,250 for a coin from 1892 that was in an impeccable condition.
The Barber quarter has evaded collectors for years due to its low mintage of only 964,079.
This particular coin, which was sold in June 2014, is particularly rare as it is in nearly perfect condition with a grade of 67 according to the Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS).
Coins are graded on a scale of one to 70 - a higher score means it's in better condition.
PCGS has only found two Barber quarters with a grade of 67 and none higher.
The grade is directly tied to how much a coin is appraised for.

For example, a similar Barber quarter from 1913 that wasn't in as good of a shape sold for $1,592.
HOW TO SPOT IT
The features on the coin that sold are still extremely sharp and detailed.
The face of the coin features Lady Liberty's side profile and 13 stars surrounding her along the edge of the coin.
Right underneath her neck, you should look for the 1892 year.

The reverse is extremely detailed, showing an eagle with outstretched wings grasping a bundle of arrows and olive branches in each claw.
The wings cover a bit of the letters that make up "United States Of America" that encompassed the eagle.
All 1892-S quarter dollars have a mintmark centered on the reverse of the coin just between the eagle's tail and the "R" in the word "quarter", according to PCGS.
Since it was a tight squeeze, some issues arose ultimately leading to the removal of the mintmark.
MORE VALUABLE QUARTERS
Quarters don't have to be from centuries ago in order to earn you some money.
Coin collectors are constantly on the hunt for valuable quarters from nearly every decade.
For example, a 1923 standing Liberty quarter sold on eBay for $1,637.
The value of these quarters comes from the few that have survived, despite a mintage of over 1.36million.
A 2005 Duke Ellington quarter with a significant "double die" error on the reverse has sold for as much as $3,055.
In order to spot that coin, first you should check to see if it says "District of Columbia" on it.
Then, you should look for a doubling of the letters E-L-L in Ellington.
If you see the error, you could get a nice chunk of change for it.
