bags can also be obtained through private dealers. While the vast majority of odd-size or otherwise misshapen errors, get caught by the Mints

inspection and sorting processes, a few do escape the system into bulk bags of coin. Normally, most of those "escapees" get caught by privately operated coin wrapping operations during the process of rolling the coins into the

familiar tubes we see in cash drawers. Those persons, in turn, supply error dealers with most of the new errors that we see offered each year. The Mints decision to sell these quarters in bulk, direct to the collector, means that the valuable error coins that banks and other coin wrapping operations virtually monopolized upon for decades, are now available to you! While, Mint-sewn bags of coin have always been available, collectors often had 1999 state quarter errors to know the right person in a bank or have a large enough account to be granted the favor of obtaining a few of these bags. The alternative was to purchase them from dealers at hefty premiums, which in the current market must be viewed as "reasonable" since these bags have been steadily increasing in value. Today, unsearched bags of States quarters can be obtained directly from the Mint for a modest fee plus shipping charges. Each bag represents an opportunity of possibly finding a valuable error coin (or more) that could net you hundreds or even thousands of dollars! These bags represent a golden opportunity to the collector because the bulk sales program comes at a time when more errors than ever are being produced, (due to high coinage output demands on the Mint), and at a time when State quarter errors are, unquestionably, the most active area in the error coin market. While it might at first seem that increased supplies of errors would be counterproductive to the market, the fact is they represent a significant number of diverse error types - some very rare - that have been well distributed amongst the commemorative designs introduced thus far, (five State quarter designs are being issued each year for ten years). Furthermore, each design represents a one-year-of-type or perhaps what, one

coin mintage of the twenty-first century. I'm sure that many of us can still remember watching commercials for the quarter program many years after its inception. With exposure of such a massive level, it shouldn't come as a https://hobbylark.com/collecting/Value-of-State-Quarters surprise to hear that these quarters were the most collected mintage in United States history. In total, a dazzling 56 designs were produced in a record-breaking 10-year period. It was a truly amazing feat, but since they were produced in such vast quantities, the majority of these coins retain very little value. That is, unless you possess an error quarter! Although uncommon, misprinted Statehood Quarters are very quarter error real, and so is their increased value! This article will outline the history of the Statehood Quarter program and list some well-known and valuable errors. "In God We Rust" Minting errors on some 2005 Kansas coins make the customary message "In God We Trust" appear to read "In God We Rust." | Source HistoryThe Order of Releases In 1999, the United States Mint began production of the 50 state quarter error State Quarters Program. Every year, five special-edition quarters would be released, each with an obverse representing a state, until a quarter had been minted for every state. These limited-edition coins were released into circulation in the order of which they came into statehood. Changes on the Obverse and Reverse Washington's portrait is still on the obverse of the state quarters, but some changes were made. The word "Liberty" was printed smaller, and the phrase "United States Quarter Dollar" was moved from the reverse to the obverse of the coin. The reverse of the state quarters feature the year minted and one of the 50 unique state designs. The designs found on these quarters were chosen by the state governor and will never be reproduced again.
