This was my first "In God We Rust" Error!


The "In God We Rust" error is a fascinating and somewhat humorous variety of the 2005 Kansas state quarter. The error gained attention due to a misprint in the coin's design, where the motto "In God We Trust" was partially obscured, making it appear as "In God We Rust."

This misprint occurred as a result of grease buildup or a filled die, which caused the letter "T" in "Trust" to be obscured, leaving the impression of the word "Rust." The error is most commonly found on coins struck at the Philadelphia Mint, although examples from the Denver Mint have also been reported.

Despite being a minor error in terms of production, the "In God We Rust" quarter has become a popular and sought-after variety among collectors due to its whimsical nature and the uniqueness of the misprint. It serves as a reminder of the fallibility of the minting process and adds an element of charm to coin collections.
