Minnesota Quarter Error
The Minnesota Quarter Error is not the first for this run from the US Mint nor will it probably be the last. The error is what appears to be a floating tree. The most common location is for it to be just to the right of the fourth evergreen tree on the left.
These coins are still being found in the rolls of this coin that are being purchased from coin dealers across the nation. The error has been found in coins from all three mints with over 60 variations to them.
The value of this coin error is on average from $150 to $500. Compare this to the 5 coin proof set from 2005 that is selling for $14.00.
There appears to be error in nearly every state quarter that has been minted from 1999. This is bad for the quality control department of the US Mint but good for coin collectors. One of the strangest coin errors during this time is the ones that were crushed by the rollers. These are being sold for $39.99 to $99.99.
This is what is so fun about coin collecting. With so many errors and many Americans saving these coins, many are looking in their collections in their spare times.
The best way to find an error is to compare the different coins in your possession. Lay them side by side and use a magnifying glass. You never know but you could find an undiscovered error. Like the extra leaf that is on the reverse side of the Wisconsin quarter located on the corn.
The off center is the most common error, but the floating tree Minnesota Quarter Error I think is still the coolest.
