Is there an error on the Wisconsin State Quarter?
Collectors have discovered 3 different examples of cornstalks on the reverse of Wisconsin State Quarters that were produced at the Denver mint facility. Photos and descriptions of the 3 reverses are available in articles printed 2/9/05 on AOL and in USA Today. The US Mint is investigating the situation to determine how these errors might have occurred.

How much is my coin worth?
Although this is our #1 question, it cannot be answered until your coin is seen and examined. Coin values depend on a number of factors, including condition, grade and eye appeal. If you want a true value for your coin, you must have it examined by a professional. If you want a general range of values, visit our Coin Values link in the COIN INFO area above. We regret that we will not respond to email, fax or telephone requests for values of sight unseen coins.
****************************************************************************************************
How often do the new State Quarters come out?
The US Mint releases a new State Quarter 5 times each year. The 50 State Quarters Program began in 1999 and is scheduled to continue through 2008. You can expect a new State Quarter about every 10 weeks. We stock all State Quarters that have been released to date.
****************************************************************************************************
Can I automatically receive new State Quarters when they are released?
Our State Quarter Subscription service is available right HERE. Once you sign up, we will automatically send you each new State Quarter release as soon as we receive our delivery. You will be charged when we are ready to ship your coins and you may cancel at any time.

Why are prices so different among coin dealers for the same items?
When you shop the Internet, you generally find a range of prices for any item. The same is true for coins, but BE CAREFUL! The lowest price usually means low quality coins and low values. At Coinland.com we provide you with excellent Quality coins at a fair market price.

I have a two-headed or two-tailed coin. Am I rich?
There was a recent discovery of the first two-tailed quarter error, but your chances of winning the lottery are far better than finding another double sided US Mint error. Instead, you almost certainly have a novelty coin, which we sell for just a few dollars. Drop the coin on a table and compare the sound to a regular coin. You will hear the answer for yourself.

What is this I'm hearing about Presidential dollars?
Congress is considering a bill to authorize a 10 year Presidential dollar program beginning in 2007. Each year, 4 new dollar coins would be issued with obverse images of US Presidents, in the order in which they were elected and a reverse image of the Statue of Liberty.

What is this I'm hearing about new Lincoln cents?
Congress is considering a bill to authorize 4 new Lincoln cents in 2009 for the 200th Anniversary of Lincoln's birth. In addition to 4 reverse images depicting different stages of his life, the metal composition of the coins would be identical to the original 1909 Lincoln cent.

Why can't I find a 1975 quarter, half dollar or Ike dollar?
Actually, there aren't any 1975 OR 1976 dated Washington quarters, Kennedy half dollars and Ike dollars. In honor of the nation's bi-centennial celebration, the US Mint produced all of these coins for two years with the unique dual date of 1776-1976.

Is the US Mint recalling the North Carolina State Quarter?
Absolutely not! The Mint produced more than 1 billion of these coins and every one of them has the words First Flight on the reverse side, instead of the state motto - "First In Flight." This is not an error. It is simply the name of the photograph that's depicted on the coin.
