How many of the 2004 Wisconsin extra husks were minted? Best guess.

blastpak

So how many are out there?

mgoodm3

42.

blastpak

This is your best guess? It's a good thing I bought six then...

mgoodm3

That still leaves 36 unaccounted for.

Hey, that was my guess too

The best guess as far as I can tell so far is that this is a variety, that a die got messed with somehow, and that there is therefore at least one die run for the low and one for the high. Apparently they all wound up in the shipment to Tucson. I don't know what a typical die run is for a state quarter, but I figure that's the max amount for each.

I'm guessing in the thousands at this point obviously.

I would imagine this would bring the premium quite high for these coins in the future.

I will be posting and updating estimated suvival rates on my web site on Monday. Based on what I bought, what was reported by other dealers and recent finds, I think it breaks down like:

Extra leaf up: 1,000
Extra Leaf down: 1,700

These are high estimates. Most will be submitted to PCGS for singles and NGC for their new 3-piece set holder. (I'll have mine back on Monday - I still don't know what the holder looks like).

Check the total population for the 1937-D 3-legged buffalo in all grades as a rarity/value reality check. Soon enough we'll have the pop records from PCGS and NGC to give a more accurate picture.

what's the normal die life for a state quarter? A Jillion?

I think the die life for quarters is around a half-million or so.

I just picked up a 100-coin bag of Wisconsin-D quarters from the mint, and those should be in my hands shortly. I was debating whether or not to open it up, but I think I will since at worst I'm losing 15 dollars on this bag. Besides, I can always give the quarters to my dad since he's in love with this state-quarters program. (Picked him up a 1000-coin bag of Connecticut quarters in 1999. That bag is nice and heavy and still sealed up to this date).

However many were made, it's safe to predict that virtually the entire mintage
of each will be pulled from circulation in XF or better condition. Many of the coins
will be intercepted in unc. Many of the modern varieties have been produced with
a few dies or a single die.

It would seem there should be about a quarter million of each but due to the nature
of these it's far too early to predict final numbers.

At least 100,000
Most likely around 300,000
