wisconsin errors?

I find in amazing that some big named error collectors are buying wisconsin error's when in fact some top variety experts try to denouce them as some die gouge, if that were true they wouldn't be worth that much now would they? I personally think they say things to bring the price down and then buy them up and sell for huge profits.Don't believe everything you read.

Well if that is a die gouge, it is the most perfect gouge I ever seen. In my opinion, I believe somebody at the Denver mint was "having fun" by adding another leaf (high and low) to the corn stalk. He probably had a bet with another worker there to see if anybody would notice these extras leaves.

These addtional leaves really look like part of the corn stalk in the Wisconsin quarter. You don't need magnification (i.e., 1995 Lincoln DDO's) and these leaves have been making the press from USA Today to every coin publication.

It is like anything else...if I am buying, I am claiming that these items are no big deal. If I selling, I am stating they are biggest thing to hit coins since the 1955 D.D.O. Lincoln Cent.

Just like my MS65 coins that always grade MS64 by a dealer and when I go back to the store, the dealer is selling them as MS65.

 

Hell, has anyone come across any....in pocket change?

 

I know that most of you city slickers have never been close ot a corn field, so I've got to tell you something:

Corn is LEAFLESS, and has never had such a growth. The foliage of corn is called a "shuck" and that is all there is to it. Come on guys/gals if you can be so technical as to look for second strikes, you can at least be technically right at to what it is your talking about.

 

I don't evne see Wisconsin state quarters, much less the error ones.

 

Your right O.D but high shuck,and low shuck dosen't sound to good does it?

 

Geeeezzzz, you have these peeps paying highway robbery prices for a corn stalk with an extra leaf here and thar? Well listen I have this here property that’s under some water, but ah, you can still live on it with nooo problems..These fools who paid or are paying 1k for the 3 coins are being ripped off...Wait until yawl see that there are hundreds of thousands of these pups and not the rarity of few thousands? To me it is all hyped up BS, I rather buy a nice old gold coin than this quarter with a peice of cheese and a stalk of corn---what beauty eh?

 

Thanks Old Dan! I thought I was the only one that knew corn has shucks or husks but NO leaves!

 

An interesting (and quite funny) point of view on the coins. I have been keeping an eye out on ebay, The sets seem to run you about $300-$500 and the singles (up or down) for about $100 themselfs. I even saw one of them being sold as "The famouse Quarter you are hearing about" and it had no extra "leaf". Ill wait to find one.

Aw shucks!

 

Shoots....I thought corn grew in cans LOL!!

 

Don't know about that, but around here we store it in jugs.

 

Hell, there could be as high as 100,000, isn't that the avg. life of a die?

 

Ol Dan, you must be an educated man, cause I'm pretty dang sure you didn't learn anything about corn first hand in Wyoming!!

 

Now, how do you like this one Doug? Immagine, someone from Montana saying this about someone from Wyoming! He isn't aware of just how much corn we put up every fall in jugs. We may just be Iowa's main customer, and I can guarantee you that this stuff will clean coins.
