Is it true there are Wisconsin quarters-- you know those new ones with the different states on the back-- with an extra leaf on the corn? And if so, how much are they worth!?
--Favre
Yes, it is true. These came out of the Denver Mint, so there will be a little "D" on the front. The mint isn't saying WHY this happened-- as it is an embarrassment. You can compare with a normal Wisconsin quarter-- there is an ear of corn coming up behind the cheese. The coins in question have a pretty obvious extra leaf-- you'll be able to tell if you compare the two.
Since this became well-known, however, people naturally save their Wisconsin quarters, just in case-- so it's been increasingly hard to come across even the normal ones.
Are they worth a million dollars? We estimate that about four million of these quarters are worth a million dollars, but do you want to be putting all those in those paper rolls? In other words, they're not really worth anything. There is no money in coin collecting, generally. It is much more lucrative to be an NFL quarter-back. Don't retire yet, friend!
