I expect this thread to...

die very quickly, but I'm just curious as to how many of you found or went out and bought a Wisconsin Extra leaf or a Kansas "humpback Bison" or I guess a "speared bison". Anyone find one... what'd you do with it (keep or sell) ...
Discuss what you think of them
just wondering

WOW quicker than I thought

I bought three (3) of the Wisconsin Sets. Two for the kids (Both certified) and one for my-self (not certified). Waiting to see what the MINT has to say about them. Who know's when that will happen.

DUIGUY

Did not buy or find either.

ditto...

Why didn't you buy any, just didn't like them, didn't think they'd be as "cool" as they first came off to be?
I didn't find any or go buy any either, I didn't think they would be so hot after the heat died down, and plus I thought they were overpriced

I don't buy modern crap.

I honestly laugh at coins like that and the people who run to get them-reminds me of when the first round of statehoods came out, everybody and his brother ran to buy anything a ebay seller marked error, such as cuds, grease strikes etc. ask them clowns what they think of their purchases 6-7 years later

I am not flamming you, just a matter of opinion and you asked

Oh, I didn't go out and buy any either.. I agree with you, I was just wondering. The only state quarters I bought were proof sets for each year, then I'm pulling P's and D's from circulation to put in a whitman.

The Wisconsin extra leafs quarters are die varieties, whereas the others are just gouges that occurred while the dies were in use, stuff that has always happened in minting but hasn't been of interest until P.T. Pam got her PR machine into operation with the buffalobobs

I bought a couple of the extra leaf quarters, but got them fairly cheap (uncertified). I think these are true varities. If you have seen one in hand there is just no way this was a die gouge. I have search literally 100's of thousand of uncirculated modern coins. NONE!!!! had a die gouge like the extra leaf coin. On the other hand, MANY have die cracks like the speared bison. I think the speared bison is cute, but I would not buy one. At the risk of ridicule the extra leaf coins are more on line with the 1955 double die cent (a whopping mint error/die variety). I think history will be kind to the extra leaf coins while the speared bison fades into the past.

While these finds are fascinating I am just not into the modern variant colecting. Too many people doing it and the premiums are not worth it.

I'm not a variety collector but I did find one each of the Wisconsin qtrs. I have them as both came from change there's no reason to slab them.
