How Much Are Wyoming State Quarters With Errors Worth?
Here’s a list of the most popular 2007 Wyoming quarter errors & varieties… and what they’re worth today.
#1 – Wyoming Quarter With Doubled Die Error
Some of the 2007-P Wyoming quarters made at the Philadelphia Mint were struck with a doubled die reverse that shows some minor doubling around the saddle. Values for this doubled die coin range from $3 to $7.
#2 – Wyoming Quarter Pooping Horse Error
A little gross, maybe, but there’s an interesting die break on some 2007 Wyoming quarters between the rear of the horse and its tail that makes it look as though the horse is doing its business. (Yep… Really does look like that!) It’s just a die break — but an unfortunate one. Wyoming quarters with this strange die break (some calling it the “pooping horse error”) are worth $15 to $25.
#3 – Wyoming Quarter With Die Break Through Date Error
There’s also a really peculiar die break that shows a long, crooked line from the tip of the horse’s front hoof all the way through both zeros (“00”) in the date, the “S” of “PLURIBUS,” up to the coin’s rim. Examples of this 2007 Wyoming error coin normally sell for between $3 and $10, depending on the coin’s condition.
#4 – Wyoming Quarter With Die Cuds Error
Some collectors have found what appear to be die cuds (die breaks hanging off parts of the design) on 2007 Wyoming quarters. Values for these coins range are based on the size of the cud and condition of the coin. These error coins are generally worth $2 to $5.
