Thread: 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.

wISCONSIN HAS A HIGH LEAF & LOW LEAF VARIETY . I think thats all there are so far .

Minnesota has extra trees, http://www.coinpage.com/state%20quarter-pictures.html Cheryl

can anyone put up a pic/link of the arizona "extra cactus". this is the first i've heard of it.

Erwizard, couple of posts on this with some pics on here try the search function with AZ quarter as keywords. Also, e-bay has some good pics as well.

Hello all I'm new to all of this but have come across a 2000 us state quarter with the r missing in liberty, the o in God and the tr in trust.
I've heard of the rust coin, but can't fine anything on this error.
Anyone have any suggestions

My guess is struck through grease.

I'm giving one of these away in the contests forum! I also have a picture there as well.

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

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.

New Mexico also has a DDR.
