Good find. I haven’t seen a WI state quarter in circulation for many years. I do have many unopened rolls I had purchased hoping to find the extra leaf variety. I never did unwrap the rolls.

Way to go bud.
I have never found one till date.

If they all came from the same place, maybe open one or two rolls. If there's nothing, I would guess it's the same for the rest of the rolls as most of the extra leaf varieties came from the same area.

These extra leafs have been identified as flaws, gouges, intentional die manipulation/modification or unintentional.

The mint and TPG'ers keep meticulous records and can identify die stages and die pairs for so many coins. If a working hub or working die was intentionally altered or manipulated, wouldn't there be a record of it somewhere?

Nice find.

This find just goes to show that there are still a whole lot of collectable coins floating around.

And I thought those were long gone from circulation. Good find!

It may be possible but records for die pairings are mainly for early coinage like the bust stuff. Much easier to identify those as each die was a little different from the next. Most if not all dies for modern coinage are the same thanks to computer technology and should be much harder to identify.

Okay, thanks. You understand my point here. How someone (the mint) can intentionally alter, modify or manipulate a working die and it gets swept under the rug, like it never happened. I just don't believe it was a mistake or incompetence and I don't believe in coincidences that it happens to look like an extra leaf.

Or is it every so many years, the Mint's public relations or customer service comes up with a unique marketing scheme to promote coin collecting?

I concur that the high and low leaf were orchestrated moves inside the mint to help reinvigorate interest in a dying series halfway through the statehood quarter program. But this is speculation. I have no proof.

Apparently no one else has proof either. And those that know, aren't talking.
