Looks like an expensive die chip. You could have bought a lot of nice variety coins for that kind of money.

 and the price may have been a little high that you paid... BUT if you like the coin and are happy with the purchase that's all that matters. |

Well I guess it's not a normal mint State Quarter. It's a known error and I just saw two of the same for 200$ |

Buddy, I think you linked the wrong price chart? OP has a Kansas State Quarter with a die chip on the buffalo. Rowbeertoe, can you link to some of the other sold auctions? I don't know if it's an actual catalogued error. May be a die chip that the coin submitter named creatively since there's no FS or other attribution. |

Wait but if the name buffalo hump is on the slab wouldn't that make it a verified error?

Please let me know if I'm wrong. Basically can a grader such as PCGS put an error nickname on the slab without it being a known or verified error via customers request?

From my reading on the legitimate TPGs, ANACS seems to have a reputation for being more willing to do error/variety attributions than PCGS and NCG. Can you link to other coins with the "humpback bison" designation?

The two actual sales I see are in the $25 range -- your purchase, and the item sold on great collections. Notice that the PCGS has no error or variety designation on the holder. I would put much faith in the ebay list of top ten rarest State Quarters. The off center strikes and rotated die errors aren't coin specific, so it would be erroneous to say those on any one type of quarter is definitively rarer than on a different type. For what it's worth, I checked the ANACS population report on "Humpback Bison" and they've certified 122 of them. Note that this isn't dispositive of rarity -- it just indicates how many people chose to pay extra to have that on their slab. |
