State Series Quarters 100 Coin Set

The other day I posted about some coins I inherited including this FABULOUS Oregon quarter pictured above :)

One of the things in the collection was this book of the complete 100 coin set of the state series US quarters.

At first I was only mildly interested in this set but the more I looked at it and read about the quarters the more interested I have become.

It started with a comment by the coinmaster, @silverd510.

So the hunt was ON. usacoinbook.com only listed one error so I had to search further and I found this site https://coins.thefuntimesguide.com/state-quarters/ which had this list. #awesome

So I opened the book and got to searching... Yep, looks like there are 7 missing but I think I can fill those in with the help of my coin bucket ;)

There are many different type of coin errors, if you are interested check out the definitions here https://www.thesprucecrafts.com/mint-error-coin-768452

I got out my loupe and the quarters and started searching. It was a bit more time consuming then I thought and it seemed that two hours slipped away in about 15 minutes.

I did not find any of the errors from the list above but I did find this interesting video about "rotated die reverses" on these state quarters. It is most common on the Denver Mint strikes from 1999-2004 but they can be found in other mint/year coins as well.

I did not find any of these either but you can bet I will be checking all my state quarters for this error from now on.

As for this set I have to say I really love it and can't wait to finish it up.
