COIN HIGHLIGHTS:

• Scarce strike thru mint error found from the "D" in United and stretches to the "A" in States.

• The reverse of the North Carolina Quarter Dollar celebrates the "First Flight" - the first successful airplane flight which took place on December 17, 1903 in Kill Devil Hills, NC.
  
• The 5 State Quarters released in 2001 were New York, North Carolina, Rhode Island, Vermont and Kentucky.
• Sovereign coin minted at the U.S. Mint and backed by the United States government with a face value of $0.25.
