Coins With Hidden Value

The “In God We Rust” Kansas Quarter – $100

The Kansas quarter made its minted debut in 2005, but something was notably missing. Instead of “In God We Trust,” this collector’s coin reads, “In God We Rust” The culprit behind the funny flaw? Ironically, it was the result of too much grease at minting.

Due to what’s frequently called a “filled die” error, excess grease in the printing machine led to coins coming out with one less “t.” Currently, this one’s still in circulation. So, if you stumble upon the “In God We Rust” quarter, count your blessings. In mint condition, it could be worth up to $100 or more.
