CANTON OH 44720 ERRORS NEARLY GONE Free giveaway of US Gov’t issued never-circulated coins 9,661 already taken, only 4,907 remain; over one million readers will see this announcement today in selected newspapers across the country; all discounted Gallery Displays with 57 free coins expected to be gone before 48 hour order deadline By J.S. Speakman Universal Media Syndicate (UMS) – Everyone hates making errors. But in the world of coins and currency when someone makes an error, it usually pays huge dividends to whoev- er finds it. “I can’t believe errors occurred on these Gallery Displays with the tight procedures we have in place,” said Jefferson Marshall, Executive Director of the private World Reserve Monetary Exchange. “That’s why I’ve directed our vault officials to give away all 57 never-circulated U.S. State Quarters as a reward to all readers who find at least one of the errors,” said Marshall. There are only 4,907 of these Gallery Displays left so, “readers who want to make sure to get the complete set of all 57 State Quarters for free should closely inspect the large photo for the error and call in today,” Marshall added. Whether or not the errors on these custom-built, museum- quality Gallery Displays will ever cause them to become sought after by collectors, only time will tell. But one thing is for sure, the quality of the construction is beyond compare. “We had a frame shop build a duplicate and the price tag was $231.00 and Delaware Maryland that was without a single coin, but 1787 1788 because of the error we’re able to Pennsylvania Massachusetts 1787 give them away fully loaded with New Jersey Georgia Connecticut 1788 all 57 U.S. State and Territory 1787 1788 1788 Quarter Dollars Encapsulated in never-circulated condition for $ just 88 and shipping.

When asked how all this happened, Marshall said, “A former World Reserve proofreader Alabama Texas 1819 1845 failed to catch these errors and Maine Florida officially accepted them into our 1820 Missouri Arkansas Michigan 1845 inventory.” So, now the private 1821 1836 1837 vaults of the World Reserve contain these frames that are perfect quality, but contain two known Iowa West Virginia spelling errors. 1846 1863 Because of this extreme Wisconsin Kansas oversight, the World Reserve 1848 California Minnesota Oregon 1861 has quarantined these Gallery 1850 1858 1859 Displays. “They cannot be sold as new because they simply do not Nevada Washington meet our strict standards of 1864 1889 perfection,” Marshall added.
