1994 Washington Quarter Errors List

Off-center error

The center error occurs at the time of design, striking through the planchet on the coins, and it does not strike at the middle of the coins. The off-center occurs, and some parts of the design are missed. The value of off-center error based on a percentage off-center that is ten to 20 percent off-center is low. more than 50 percent off-center are high value with clear details. The 1994 off-center is about 30 to 50 dollars based on conditions.

Clad Layer Missing Error

The core of 1994 quarters is made with 100 percent copper, and cladding is made with a cupronickel layer. If due to some reason there are cladding layers missed, then coins have missing clad layers. These error coins get in 220 dollars based on missed layers.

Quarter Struck on Wrong Planchet

The planchets used for quarters, pennies, and dimes have certain dimensions, thicknesses, and compositions. So if by mistake we use other coin planchets like dimes for quarters, we make a wrong planchet error. This error is seen in the 1994-P Quarter that struck with ten cent planchet. This coin has a value of about 840 dollars for MS63 grades.

Double strike error

This error occurs after striking double minting on coins and making double designs on coins. This error occurs when coins are not removed from the machine and get struck two times. The 1994 quarters with this error are worth up to 150 dollars.

Bonded Pair Error

This error is the result of the time of coins striking when coins struck on the die and another coin also stopped getting struck for design. As a result, two mixed coins got many strikes and changed their shape, making a bonded pair error. The coins with this error have a value of up to 1610 dollars for different MS63 and MS64 grading coins overlapping.

History of the 1994 Washington Quarter

The first quarter was made in 1932 to celebrate the 200th anniversary birth of the US president. First decided to make half-dollar coins by adding photos of the president but this idea was not accepted. Then decided to make the Washington Quarter by replacing the Lady Liberty Quarter. The 1932 to 1965 quarters were made with silver composition but due to high prices of silver and hoarding of coins, the mint removed the silver from quarters.

The quarters’ coins made after 1965 are copper-nickel compositions, and some coins are also made with silver compositions, but they are proofs not used for circulation.

The 1994 is the last quarter that is a real Washington quarter. The 1999 quarters series, called the 50 State Quarters series, was made from 1999 to 2008. The coin also has a photo of Washington on the front side. that was used until 2022 and then replaced with Laura Gardin Fraser’s photo.
