Hurry and check your change jar, that Wisconsin quarter could be worth three hundred dollars!

I have so many change jars at home this could take me a very long time, but I think it's worth the hassle.

My husband works in a bar and more times than not, he comes home with pockets bursting with quarters. For some reason he always has quarters. I got sick of picking them up from around the house, so I bought some decorative banks to put them in.

Of course, heaven forbid he actually use them. Instead he puts all of the quarters in the glass vase on top of the mantle. He says, "why am I going to stand here forever putting quarters in the slot one by one, when I can just dump my handful in this glass vase?" Touche Ryan, touche. I digress...

I'm going to have to dump the glass vase and check for a Wisconsin quarter.

If you happen to find a 2004 Wisconsin quarter, look at the front left leaf.

You should see a cow that looks to be sniffing a wheel of cheese with a corn husk sticking out behind the cheese.

If you happen to have a 2004 Wisconsin quarter, locate the corn husk.

 

If you find a 2004 Wisconsin quarter, look at the front left leaf. If there’s an extra leaf, that coin is worth anywhere between $25 to $300 according to AmericanOverlook.com.

Golden Eagle states:

There was an error during the minting process at the Denver Mint and some quarters were produced with an extra leaf on the corn stalk. Some believe it was a die flaw, while others have speculated that it was a deliberate act by a Denver Mint employee. In either case, there are two varieties, “low leaf” and “high leaf.”

To see exactly what the low leaf and high leaf look like, you can see it in this very informative video here:

Huh!? I wonder if it is worth the hype? Any actual coin collectors out there? Is this legit? Let me know in the comments below!
