Coinage Valued Member Canada 159 Posts	Posted 12/26/2008 12:31 am Okay, so I'm looking at the 2009 Charlton Standard Catalogue and I'm reading up on Quarters. How does the 1992 (125th Anniversary) New Brunswick Quarters differ? I mean, there are 3 separate 1992 NB quarters and I think there are 3 different "Die axis varieties". What does each one of these different Die Axis quarters look like? What am I looking for? edit... What I'm seeing in the Charlton Catalogue under the 1992 25 cent- 125th Anniversary designs are... 1992 - NB (arrow up/arrow up) 1992 - NB (arrow up/arrow down) 1992 - NB (arrow up/arrow right) My question is about the Arrows... does this represent the "Die Axis" and if so, how do these coins differ from the "regular" common circulated 1992 NB 25 cent coin? I hope I made this as clear as possible. Thanks for any info. Cheers! James. Edited by Coinage 12/26/2008 12:48 am Report this Post to the Staff

That's a medallic die axis. Both sides would be rite side up simultaneously. Edited by IBGolden 12/26/2008 12:54 am Report this Post to the Staff

IBGolden Pillar of the Community Canada 598 Posts	Posted 12/26/2008 01:34 am Yes, but the error is so plentiful, it is termed a variety. But, not so plentiful that these varities go for over a hundred bucks! Edited by IBGolden 12/26/2008 01:37 am Report this Post to the Staff
Coinage Valued Member Canada 159 Posts	Posted 12/26/2008 03:20 am Nice! I'll keep my eyes open. I need some of these "rare" coins in my collection, something to be proud of. Is there a real mintage number on these "variety" coins? Edited by Coinage 12/26/2008 03:23 am Report this Post to the Staff
