There was a very informative live ANA Theater Presentation given on August 10, 2007 at the Milwaukee, WI ANA Show. Not much "Hype" just facts that prove the intentional origins of these scarce varieties on the part of employees of the Denver Mint in November, 2004. Rick Snow and Chris Pilliod made this presentation which was followed up with some interesting discussion. These coins have not remained valuable for almost three long years simply because of "Hype". Though ANA did not endorse the Wisconsin Extra Leaf Quarters by providing a full hour presentation which seemed to go by way to quickly and let us not forget Chris Pilliod's fantastic "Mystery Solved" article in the August, 2007 ANA's Numismatist Magazine. A video of Rick and Chris' presentation will be available through ANA. Coin collecting is made up of many opinions and interests. Thanks, Mark.
Chris' study is far from conclusive. The jury is still out on the nature and origin of the "extra leaves". Unless you tuned me out completely, you undoubtedly heard my extensive rebuttal from the audience. -- Mike Diamond
