Returning to this thread I see I never clarified for samcoin. Given my name, you may guess I have spent a lot of time in the tropics. Lived in different countries and made many visits there (also lived in Norway for three years but "arcticbats" just didn't do it for me. So, monkeys are traditionally tied to bananas, something which they do in fact eat in the wild. But in almost every instance where a monkey and a banana are represented, the banana is yellow. Even the LEGO monkey minifig comes with a yellow LEGO banana. But in fact it is fairly rare to see yellow bananas in the wild, as they are always green. So most bananas that a monkey would eat in the wild would be green, but there are very, very few references in images or the media in any way that shows a monkey with a green banana. Just an obscure reference to something being rare.

Or maybe it's 290° rotated die lol. Nice find, still no rotated dies worth keeping for me yet. I have seen some 10° or less but not enough to get excited

Nice find  Tempted to finally open up this 2000-D Maryland Quarters mint sewn bag. Picture below of mine for the new people who have never seen a mint sewn bag before. There are also some missing clad layer errors and some others reported plus a potential for a high grade although MS67-68 seems to be really only worthwhile for grading.. plus the bag sealed is worth around $40. Quarters at face value after opening $25 to start. Bags can have errors that dont fit normally into rolls but may not have as high grade examples as rolls due to nicks, marks and scratches from being in contact with each other. Generally, bags can get pricey later sometimes when there are known rareties for the specific year that might possibly be found in the bag or when high grade examples sell for very high amounts. Decisions, Decisions...
