Sharann Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 (edited) Okay, so, while looking through quarters on my quest for an infamous "W", I came across this little diddy. I really didn't even want to post this because my eyes see all kinds of things that aren't there on occasion, but I didn't have anyone else at home to tell me whether or not this is the error for the 2005 Kansas State Quarter. Yes, I looked it up and it APPEARS to be, but I can't be too sure of anything these days. 😂😊 Edited March 19, 2021 by Sharann Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But thats a lot of work to go through for something not worth big bucks. Edited March 19, 2021 by J P Mashoke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woods020 Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 This is a recognized error on this quarter. I don’t think it demands a huge premium but it’s one roll hunters look for. This same quarter has a reverse die crack in the Buffalo people look for as well. A speared Buffalo. Sharann 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fenntucky Mike Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 Yep, looks like a grease filled die "IN GOD WE RUST" "error". I'm not very familiar with these but there seems to be a progression of this ranging from "IN __D WE __UST" to your coin. Yours is probably the most popular version.

Hoghead515 Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Eyeballs are nasty looking when they are hanging out aint they. Had a friend that wrecked his truck one night and it tore his eye out of socket. That was a horrible sight. It was dangling to. He ended up losing it. He's got a glass eye now.

Conder101 Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 That same grease fill error exists on other issues as well but for some reason it is just the Kansas issue that gets all the interest. It's like the 55 Bugs Bunny half dollar. That same clash exists on every other date/mint in the series but the only one people care about is the 55.

I am a big "why and how" kinda girl, and I am curious as to what is so different or unique to Kansas that it gets all the hype. I am gonna do a bit of reading and see if I can come up with anything.

Conder101 Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 The Kansas coin got hyped which brought it to peoples attention. It is also apparently much more common than the others which allows for quantities to be acquired and then promoted. Further hyping the coin.

The Neophyte Numismatist Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 I found one recently that was "In God We _Rust" on the obverse and a "Spitting Bison" on the reverse. I have found a few "...Rust" Kansas quarters in CRH. Sharann 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What made it one to look for is that the right player somehow got it recognized (which it should not be really) and then had the ability to promote it for profit. I would not be surprised if at sometime in the future this gets delisted as a variety, and that would be the correct move.

Woods020 Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 It was YouTube “numismatists” in my opinion. For some reason within the last few years videos have become prevalent about “getting rich from pocket change” or “coins worth a lot of money”. This is a popular one they hype.

The Neophyte Numismatist Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 I agree with the others that finding this coin is not going to equate to independent wealth. However, these errors are extremely fun finds. I put this coin in the same bucket as the Delaware "Spitting Horse", Wisconsin "Extra Leaf", and Homestead "Snowy Roof/Leaky Bucket". Not super valuable - but SUPER fun to find. Congrats Sharann on finding one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be completely honest, saying and typing the whole phrase without the T in trust kind of hurts my heart, cause in my God we don't rust! Personally, I don't think it should EVER have been hyped at all and that those coins should be deemed obsolete. But, that's just my opinion and the big boys don't usually ask for it.
