2004 Wisconsin Extra Leaf Quarter: History & Background
The 2004 Wisconsin Extra Leaf Quarter is one of the most famous modern US Mint errors. Two distinct varieties exist: the Extra Leaf High, where an additional leaf points upward on the ear of corn, and the Extra Leaf Low, where the leaf curves downward. These errors appeared only on coins from the Denver Mint and are believed to have been caused by die damage or deliberate die alteration by a Mint employee. The coins were discovered in circulation in Tucson, Arizona, in early 2005 and generated significant media attention. Both varieties are eagerly sought by collectors and routinely trade for hundreds of dollars in circulated grades.
How to Grade a 2004 Wisconsin Extra Leaf Quarter
Accurate grading is the single most important factor in determining a coin's value. A difference of just a few grade points can mean 10× or more in value. Examine the highest points of the design first — these are where wear appears earliest. For the finest grades, luster, strike quality, and surface preservation all matter. Professional grading by PCGS or NGC adds certainty and typically increases resale value. Read our complete grading guide →
