State
Quarter Mint Error MS65
Each year, the U.S. Mint produces billions of coins. The vast majority are struck
correctly and
enter
circulation or end up in collectors hands. In order to leave
the U.S. Mint facilities, the
coins must
pass through a series of quality control
checkpoints. If a coin is found to be struck
with an
error in the
design, or if the
coining machinery malfunctions and produces misshapen
or partially-struck
coins, all
of the coins in question are destroyed.
However, each year a very few rogue coins manage to escape the eyes of
inspectors and are
accidentally
released into circulation. These error coins
are highly sought after for their rarity
as well as their unusual
nature.
Due to their rarity, error coins can be expensive.
These mint error coins have an Improperly Annealed planchet. This happens
when the
coins stay for too
long in the annealing furnace. In order to make the
coins soft before they
are struck and to protect the
coin dies, coins are heated in
an annealing furnace. If the coins stay
too long in the furnace they overheat
and
change color. These Statehood quarters have a
distinctive dark but fully lustrous
color. This unique
color makes them easy to identify and
very few get past the
quality control inspectors. These are interesting
mint errors and make a
great
addition to any coin collection.
