Best Answer

The single most common question about a coin with a "misspelling" refers to Peace dollars and Standing Liberty quarters on which the motto In God We Trust is apparently incorrect because the last word is spelled "Trvst". In fact, these coins were lettered with the Latin alphabet instead of the English one, which was a common practice on classically-themed artwork in the early 20th century. The Latin alphabet only has 24 letters so V is substituted for the modern letter U, and I for J. In short, there's no mistake!

However some older and even a few modern coins have true orthographic errors such as missing letters or outright misspellings. Depending on the coin these can be worth anywhere from a small premium to many times the item's usual collector value.
