The first variety quarter I was able to find at a reasonable price.
Slot: Variety: Medium Motto
Origin/Country: United States Washington Quarter Silver 1932-1964
Design Description: QUARTER DOLLARS - WASHINGTON
Item Description: 25C 1934 MEDIUM MOTTO Medium Motto Washington Quarter
Grade: NGC MS 62

Another wonderful variant for the collection. Since the 25C 1934 LIGHT MOTTO is also graded at MS 62, I guess this means that my future NGC 25C 1934 HEAVY MOTTO also should be MS62 to make it a complete set. Is there even a MS62 HEAVY MOTTO currently graded at this time? Yes there are but only having 3 in the census will make it a lot harder.

First error that isn't a Statehood Quarter. Also happens to be the oldest error and not variety of the set! Not a bad deal for $15 and a silver coin too.
Slot: I wonder how many Type B Reverse coins were slabbed without the variety recognition.
Origin/Country: United States
Design Description: QUARTER DOLLARS - WASHINGTON
Item Description: 25C 1961 TYPE B REV
Grade: NGC XF 45

$17.35

More than double market value, but with the cost of slabbing, variation attribution, and shipping a fair price.

$28.00

I wonder how this traveled through circulation. Did people think it was counterfeit because it felt different, or was how the initial collector figured out it might be an error?
Slot: Curved Clip
Origin/Country: United States Washington Quarter Silver 1932-1964
Design Description: 25 Cent Washington Quarter
Item Description: 25C 1962 D 5% CURVED CLIP
Grade: NGC MINT ERROR AU 55
Research: View Coin
Owner Comments
A big year in our history with the whole Cuban Missile Crisis. To think of what the previous owner of this coin must have been thinking during that time really makes you thankful for what we have. Maybe I'll try and get one error for every year of the Washington Quarter as well as an error for every state.
Slot: Another coin that suffered the fate of the past when cleaning coins was the "cool" thing to do. Nice clip size takes off the words In, and the tr in trust.

Slot: Struck 5% Off Center
Origin/Country: United States Washington Quarter Clad 1965-1998
Design Description: 25 Cent Washington Quarter
Item Description: 25C 1965 STRUCK 5% OFF CENTER
Grade: NGC MINT ERROR AU 58

Owner Comments
This is an example of the first year that the George Washington Quarter was produced without its 90% silver content. While my error collection slowly grows, it appears that there are a wide variety of 5% off center examples out there to be found!
Slot: Struck on 5C Planchet
Origin/Country: United States
Design Description: QUARTER DOLLARS - WASHINGTON
Item Description: 25C 1971 D
Grade: PCGS AU 58
Research: View Coin
Owner Comments
This was an eBay pickup many years ago before NGC allowed the upload of PCGS coins to the registry.

Sadly, you can't search for errors by PCGS and need to have normal information. That is why it is shown in description as a 1971-D quarter despite the fact it was struck on a 5c planchet.
Slot: First Washington Quarter with a George Washington Label.
Origin/Country:
Design Description:
Item Description: 25C 1972 D REVERSE STRUCK THRU
Grade: NGC MINT ERROR MS 66

Newer slabbed or at least during the time of custom labels.
Slot: Struck 5% Off Center
Origin/Country: United States Washington Quarter Clad 1965-1998
Design Description: 25 Cent Washington Quarter
Item Description: 25C 1974 STRUCK 5% OFF CENTER
Grade: NGC MINT ERROR MS 66
Research: View Coin
Owner Comments
Another nice example of a 5% off center quarter and my first 1970's example. The previous owner or owners must have stored with great care for it to still look this good. 1974 also happens to be the year that Richard Nixon imposed the 55 mph speed limit on January 2nd.
Slot: My first ever missing clad layer coin!
Origin/Country: United States

Another partial collar for the collection.
Slot: 1978: Struck 15% Off Center Obverse Wheel Mark

Item Description: 25C 1978 STRUCK 15% OFF CENTER
Grade: NGC MINT ERROR UNC Details
Research: View Coin
Owner Comments
Another eBay pickup.

1978 Struck 15% Off Center Mint Error UNC Details Obverse Wheel Mark. Not the first time I've found an error with the wheel mark designation. Too many times I guess they fall towards the end of the coin counter machines due to weight and get stuck with the suction cup ender.
