Coin collectors wish they had a quarter dollar with an extra leave high. In fact, it is a regular strike. PCGS gives this specimen the name “2004-D 25C Wisconsin Extra Leaf High”.
Even if its face value is just 25 cents or a quarter dollar, it was worth $2,530 in an auction record back in 2006. Since this was about 18 years ago, its value may have increased over time.
2004-D Wisconsin Quarter Dollar with Extra Leaf
Coin errors are frequent and they could make it worth thousands of dollars. If you get into the habit of observing all the cash you get after buying something, you may come across interesting examples. Pay close attention to the corn stalk to see if you can spot the error.
In case you have not realized yet, it has an extra leaf. Of course, it is not possible to see if you do not compare it to a different piece or if you know by heart its exact design.
Look for any quarter dollar from the same year and State and compare the difference. If you do not have one, you can easily search it on the Internet which may be much faster.
Is it the only error in this quarter-dollar coin?
As a matter of fact, there is a very similar error in other quarter-dollar coins from the same year and State. While some coins may have an extra leaf high, others have an extra leaf low.
So, the position of the extra leaf varies from one design to another. The auction record for the 2004-D 25C Wisconsin Extra Leaf Low (Regular Strike) was set at $6,000.
This auction took place in 2020, so it is a much more recent event than the one for the extra leaf high. If you happen to have one of these coins, contact experts like PCGS to help you sell it.
