    I am from NY and have one of the wisconsin quarters. On Ebay 3 wisconsin quarters are going for app. $1,500. They consist of one normal quarter, then one extra leaf high and the other a low leaf.

    Do I agree with Potter ? No - I do not. The history of the US Mint is full of examples that are very similar to this. Yet few question those coins. They may say they wouldn't buy one because they were struck under clandestine circumstances - and undoubtably they were. But the coins still exist and they are some of the most expensive on the market today.

    I don't see how this is any different than the '55 doubled die cent, or the 3 legged Buffalo, or the '42/1 dime or the '13 Liberty nickel or the '94-S dime. The list is endless. Every single one of them could have been done on purpose. Some of them definitely were done on purpose. How is this one any different ?

    Thanks for giving your opinion...
    Coins like the ones your mentioned are ones I don't think of as coins when completing a set...I count them a variaties and I don't count variaties in a set...that also goes for the 1892-Mico O Barber Half and many others.....
    Thanks again

    I haven’t read the Potter article yet, but I get the idea of what is there based on the replies.

    How about the Sacky/quarter mule? Whether it was done on purpose or not, the people who own them are getting good money for them on the open market.

    I do think that some die “varieties” get hyped up more than others, and why sometimes it sticks and sometimes it doesn’t is anybody’s guess. If these die gouges on the Wisconsin quarters had been in a field or next to the rim, they might have just been dismissed as die cracks or gouges and not brought much premium, but the fact that they are “leaves” makes them more in demand.

    If the market will support it, then it will be collected as a distinct and “rare” variety, regardless of the circumstances under which they were made.
