    Check out your Wisconson quarters.
    Look at the bottom left leaf on the ear of corn.
    Some are sticking up, others are laying down.
    The high version is supposidly bringing about $100 to $150
    in MS condition, the low just a bit less.

    What gives? None of my WI. quarters has that leaf.

    It may just be a hoax.
    I saw it and thought it interesting to look for.
    But looking at it closer it does look a bit odd.

    Do any of your quarters have that leaf?

    Can’t help but notice this post is getting hammered today. Jwellsy had a leg up on this story that hit the presses today.

    They’ve been talking about it in La Crosse for a few days. Apparently most of the Denver mint coins go to the southern states, so the chances of them being seen up here aren’t all that great.

    From what they were saying people are paying up to $600 for one of these quarters. Silly me, I always thought a quarter was worth .25 cents…

    A fool and their money are soon parted…

    I don’t know the record…. But this post has been hit harder in one day than I can ever recall. Must be a search engine sending people to it??? If you look at “Who’s On-line” there were at least 20 people looking at it all day!

    Good pix of the coin error for sure.

    We actually debated that question “in-depth” at the office today. We all agree that we would sell immediately.

    I would too, if I had one.
    Would be interesting to see which banks those coins went to and if they made it into circulation.

    I also saw this on a news channel, some saying it may be worth $60. Better check my piggy bank!

    Hopefully everyone reading this thread hangs around, registers and gives us some fishing reports from their area of the country. So, come on, who is going to be the first one with a fishing report?
