Hey buddy, can you spare a defective quarter?

Wisconsin quarter flawsSpot these leaves!

A coin defect in the Wisconsin 2004-D coins could make your 25ยข piece worth $100 and upward.

Normal Wisconsin quarters do not have any extra little leaves, but two variations (called "extra leaf down" and "extra leaf up," as seen in the picture to the right) are causing quite a stir. You can read up on further details at coinworld.com.

Of course, if you don't believe me, feel free to send any Wisconsin 2004-D coins my way for inspection. $100 bills are also accepted.

    Unfortunately, I don't know much about coin collecting at all. You might want to start out by reading the coinworld.com article I linked to above.
