2022 Dr. Sally Ride American Women Quarter Errors for the Great American Coin Hunt!

For coin hunters, the Sally Ride quarter has several distinct minting errors.

One of the most sought-after is the “Vomit Comet” die clash, a rare error where the obverse and reverse dies collided without a planchet in between, causing Washington’s profile to appear “ghosted” onto the reverse window.

Are you a fan of rare and valuable Lincoln Cent errors and varieties? If so,  check out this coin list here! 

High-grade examples of this clash have been valued at over $2,000.

Other notable varieties include the “Ghost Comet” (a trail-like die clash near the Earth), the “Drooling George” die chip near Washington’s mouth, and the “In COD We Trust” error found on Denver strikes, where a grease-filled die obscured the “G” in God.
