    Question U.S. State Quarter Errors/Varieties?

    I'm collecting the state quarters from circulation and was hoping that someone knows of or has a list of the common errors/varieties to look for.

    Arizona - Extra Cactus
    Oklahoma - Extra Wing
    Wisconsin - Extra Leaf

    Any others?

    I have also heard that many of them have rotation errors.

    Also, there are two extra cactus errors identified so far. The one-extra cactus covers just the designer's initials and the two-cactus error covers both the initials and part of the date.

    From what I can see, there are different varieties in the twoextra cactus coins. Probably, like the Minnesota extra tree.

    As far as other state quarter varieties, I own a "Trolling Variety" from a Minnesota state proof. It's ICG and is actually a die break that extnds behind the boat, and it looks like the boat is trolling.

    Here is a link to the ebay auction I won that has pictures:

    Don't Forget the Rust Quarter from Kansas where there is no T

    Also the Alaska Bear claw DD with more than 5 claws.

    I have started to snatch up all 1999 quarters as well because they are becoming more and more rare. selling for about 12.50 a circulated roll

    Are there any real varieties (not errors) on State Quarters?
    I've tried to find a website on US coins which would be similar to this wonderful Russian website http://coins2001.narod.ru, but with no success so far. All of the sites I manage to find concentrate on the few famous "big bucks" errors with very commercial style Click here to enlarge

    When I type "variety", I mean coins like the wide AM's on Lincoln cents, not missing edge letterings or die breaks.

    Something to illustrate my point:

    Look for rounded, doubled earlobes on Washington. That could theoretically be on any of them.

    Don't think it has been mentioned yet. The Wyoming state quarter depicts a cowboy riding a bucking bronco. On the saddlehorn of the saddle, there is an extra impression of the tip of the saddlehorn.
