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.

My first 1990's error that isn't a State Quarter. While I may not have found it way back in 1996, it is still a nice example of an error coin from childhood years. Still can't understand why one of the previous owners placed so many description labels upon it. Definitely don't understand the old $150 price tag on it. Yes it is a nice coin but the $11 and change price tag paid is a much better price!

The beauty of a planchet error already graded is, you just don't know when it came about. Was this one of the first from 1965 that someone held onto for curiosity sake? Might it be a missing Delaware state quarter? The world will never know.

Indiana the home of the Indianapolis 500 and a fine state quarter image. Curious though just how this error found itself waffled when I thought the waffling machines were brought in the following year in 2003. Maybe it is a test cancellation specimen that the mint used to see how the machine would work out for them. Either way I'm torn on the whole waffling process. Yes it does give new examples of errors, but it also destroys a whole lot of errors that could of otherwise gotten its way into happy collector's hands!
