It can be stored in an old box, in a jar if it is coin, or even forgotten in your pocket. U.S. dollars in banknotes and coins that have a real value that distinguishes the denomination, it can be multiplied by thousands if some curiosity appears that makes it irresistible for collectors.
Therefore, errors in the minting of a coin or particular circumstances of an edition can cause the generation of rare objects highly coveted by collectors who transform them into precious objects.
Among these there is one 25 cent coin from 2004 issued in the state of Wisconsinwhich would normally be used to buy a simple candy but failing to print the catapult to an unimaginable value.
It is true that it is not so easy to obtain it because it is something truly atypical, but the American banking authorities have reported that much of said coin and provenance entered circulation with some errors, which makes it highly sought after by a large community of collectors in Worldwide.
what is the printing error
Originally, the quarters have a cow, a cheese wheel, and an ear of corn stamped on their metal on the back. The misprints are mainly in cornwhich can be identified one sheet more than the common and higher in its position.
This detail is the main reason why many collectors are paying a minimum of two thousand dollars and it has also been known through the radio station WLAC, that if found in optimal conditions the figure could double or even triple, according to the site. metroworldnews.
The same Wisconsin quarter of 2004 has a change in value given by collectors. The error is generated in the leaf of the cob itself, but if the footprint of the leaf is double again but in the lower part, it can be worth much more.
It is that unlike the first error explained (double the top sheet) which costs between two thousand and four thousand dollars, having the duplicate sheet at the bottom starts selling at $ 6,000 and, if in perfect condition, can go as high as $ 10,000, WKDQ said, citing a report on the Professional Coin Grading Service collectors site.
Another curious coin
In 2007, new George Washington 1 dollar coins were minted, with an accidental oversight that attracted attention, because it omitted a sentence which is the flag of the United States.
So an unknown number of these coins were minted without the standard inscription “We believe in God”. In the year of its release, experts predicted that the flawed coins could end up selling for around $ 50.
And the calculation was not wrong, because eventually tens of thousands of these coins appeared. The dollars “Written on the missing edge”as they are officially called, they sell for between $ 29 and $ 228.
