What is a Nevada ‘Pooping Horse’ Quarter?

What is a Nevada “Pooping Horse” quarter?

The best-known state quarter varieties are the Wisconsin “Extra Leaf” coins of 2004. These two varieties were caused by some change or alteration to reverse dies. The lesser-known 2006-P Nevada “Pooping Horse” quarter is a variety caused by an extra piece of metal somehow getting into the reverse die in a position where it appears the horse to the far right may be relieving itself.

Are there other state quarter varieties I should consider collecting?

The two 2004 Wisconsin “Extra Leaf” quarters may be the most well known, but there are at least eight other major varieties or error coins worth watching for. These are the 1999-P Connecticut broad strike, 2000-P South Carolina off-center strike, 2005-P Minnesota “Extra Tree” doubled die, 2005-P Kansas die break reverse, 2005-P Oregon rotated die, 2006-P Colorado cud, 2007-P Wyoming doubled die reverse and the 2008-P Arizona “Extra Cactus Leaves” quarters.

Someone is selling a Cheerios penny, but it isn’t in the original packaging. How can I tell the difference between a Cheerios and a regular cent?

The details on the tail will identify a 2000 Cheerios dollar from a regular strike dollar. There is no known difference between a 2000 Cheerios and regular issue cent other than the packaging in which the former should be housed. Once the coin has been removed, it becomes just another cent.
