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.

Yup, die axis... I'm gonna grab me book

...okay, typical/intended die axis would be 2 up arrows. That's a medallic die axis. Both sides would be rite side up simultaneously.

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!

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?
