    The only ones that will be worth any real money in the future is the silver proofs,because of the number minted.IMHO

    I dont think the Wisconsin extra leafs are needed for the set. If they were, you would need the Delaware spitting horse, Pennsylvania rotated dies, polished Georgia and such. They are cool though!

    It basically amounts to how much money do you want tied up in state quarters.

    Millions upon millions of collectors, frankly, don't care if WI has leaves or not. Those that do pay extra to own one.

    It's up to the collector to define a complete set. In the past it was unusual for varieties to
    be included in the albums and this may well remain true. However, many people find this
    particular variety to be fascinating so it is likely to be in the albums. Still, it is up to the col-
    lector.

    While few people seem to believe any of the moderns or ultramoderns have much potential,
    the fact remains they are a lot of fun to collect and can be collected cheaply or not dependent
    on the desires and means of the individual. Historically collectors tend to do much better than
    investors financially and almost invariably have more fun.

    Suit yourself.

    I collect the silver proofs and proofs and mint sets of the state quarters and I like 'em. When looking at your question I wondered if the high/low would ever become anything other than oddities, for example, would they ever be considered keys since they go for such a premium...I think not. Just an oddity that has value and whether passing value or timeless value is something for history to sort out.

    Simple if you have it you can put it in your set. But there is not a sererate slot to fill for it. IE varities have not been put in the State Quarters sets. They might be in the futher but it would probably be like the 1934-D HEAVY MOTTO/LIGHT MOTTO coins, not reguired but usable in the basic set.

    theres not a spot for it in my dansco album, so for me the answer is no.

    I have all the SHQs in PCGS MS66. I will complete the set. Maybe I'm silly, but I enjoy the series. I don't think the Wisconsin varieties are necessary to call your set complete. Similarly, I would say that a Merc collector doesn't have to obtain the 1942/41 overdate to call his/her series complete.

    I don't think they're necessary for a complete set. But if you want them, then get'em! image

    I'm collecting them out of circulation. I would not get a good return on super duper ones if I were to sell. There's just too many of them. I do have the silver proof sets too.

    I'm guessing that at least one of the two Wisconsin things will get into the higher priced coin albums. Unlike some of the other "varieties" these things probably were not the result of a die break. I think that they are intentionally made to stimulate interest in the State Quarter at a time when perhaps interest in it was getting stale.

    It will depend how much interest continues to hold for the Wisconsin extra leaf coins. If the market keeps moving on them, and there are continued ads in places like "Coin World" for them, they will probably become a part of an "advanced" State Quarter set.

    I think these were on purpose by the mint so I think they will be needed for a complete set. JMHO
