Spider5689 Pillar of the Community United States 2269 Posts	Posted 02/25/2009 12:31 am Has anyone heard of any information regarding a reverse Variety for the Washington State Quarter depicting Mt. Rainier? Tonight I was rolling some quarters when I noticed that the Washington State Quarter had an extra peak on Mt Rainier. Its quite obvious even without the use of a magnifier. I did an Internet search about State Quarter varieties and all I came up with were Wisconsin and Minnesota. Any information will help. Tomorrow, I will post pictures of a normal reverse and another picture of the quarter I found. Thanks Christopher Report this Post to the Staff

The reason you're not finding it listed as an error or variety is because it's neither. These are small breaks in the design on the die, and are accepted as a normal part of the minting process.

biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 02/25/2009 11:21 am I have to concur with coppercoins, just a die chip similar to the "extra" flowers on Oklahoma and "extra" cacti on Arizona. Or maybe it is a sign of an eminent eruption Report this Post to the Staff

Even though they are not worth much of anything extra premium wise, they look nice and I'm keeping mine.
