Why Woman's day.. WHY? Article concerning a struck through grease in the letter T of TRUST.. I cringe when I read stuff like this. Unfortunately there is too much garbage like it out there Quote "In the meantime, there are a few things you can look for that can earn you more than 25 cents for your quarter. During the minting process of coins, mistakes can happen. In the case of some 2005 Kansas quarters, built-up gunk and grease in the diecast caused the “T” in the word “trust” to appear erased. That’s right, instead of reading, “In God We Trust,” the coins produced on this faulty mechanism instead read, “In God We Rust.” Yikes! Experts at the Muncie, Indiana, Coin and Stamp Club admit that this error is indeed a rarity, but are also quick to fact-check any claims that those coins are also worth about $100 each. That’s not to say quarters with this typo are worthless, though. A quick scroll through eBay listings shows these coins going for $25, $50, and up to $75 a pop. That’s definitely still more than you would have gotten out of the coin just using it to pay a parking meter or vending machine. It’s just another reason why you should take the time to take a second look at the coins jangling around in your pocket or purse. It just goes to show that you shouldn’t always take everything at its initial face value.." Closed quote I want to share this sad article with you https://www.firstforwomen.com/posts/money/kansas-state-quarter-error-172287
Education is expensive sometimes . . . This has been around forever. Probably started in 1955. I cannot tell you how many 1999 First State missing reigns, In God We "Rust" quarters I own . . . Z
The real question everyone wants to know is why is Paddyman98 reading Woman''s Day. I have one of these found in circulation. The fact remains it does sell for more than a quarter, then, when they were discovered and now, I'd say they average about $5 on the sold listing on ebay. Supply and demand. People will drop up to a $20 on just about anything if it appeals to them. It's why there's so much junk sold for $19.99 on infomercials.
At least we don't have Muncie Indiana experts to rely on. I can still see the first T in TRUST. What a bogus article.
As a member of the Muncie Stamp and Coin Club, I would like to know just who they talked to. Although from the article it appears the information they got from the club member was that they weren't worth anything. Then the article goes on to point out that they have been selling for a premium on ebay. Well we all know there are bidiots on ebay. So the fact that they have sold for a premium doesn't mean they are valuable. It comes back more to "a fool and his money are soon parted."
