well, it was unopened until today. Much to my surprise needless to say. This is a scan, center of the extra tree shows up dark in the scan.

    Congrat! This is a very nice find, I picked yp 10 rolls of uncirculated State Quarter rolls this week and nothing.
    Keez, I am very happy for you and it is good to know there is still hope.

    Thanks everyone. I was bummed out with the subscription 2006 uncirc set. After ordering 2 more 2006 sets today in hopes of getting clean ones, I decided to organize mint sets and found the 2005 I had stashed away unopened, as I had been considering selling it unopened. Today I decided I would open it. WOW, that made my day!

    I've never sent anything in to be certified as I'm new to collecting. Should this be sent in or kept in the mint set package.

    I was looking for pics on other threads but they are all show up as red x now.

    I guess there are different looks to them, would like to know which one mine is.

    It definitely is an extra tree -- but looks a bit different.

    Scan isn't showing the middle section very well. Also, mine has more to it on the lower section than the variety example shows.

    I've heard that there are 3 varieties. Maybe this is one?

    What's this about an extra tree? I haven't heard of that before.

    could be the most extra trees created by the government this year?

    Bumping this up for the evening extra tree error experts. The red x pics from other posts are viewable now and mine is most similar to the 001 variety, yet different from it. Mine has more body to the tree, less skeleton looking. It's definitely not like the 002 or 003 varieties I saw from other threads posted on this forum.

    I would have to agree.
  • MrSpudMrSpud Posts: 4,499 ✭✭✭
    Cool, maybe it is one of those other varieties that someone said Ken Potter was going to mention in his next Article.
  • keezkeez Posts: 842 ✭
    It must be another variety.
  • errormavenerrormaven Posts: 1,170 ✭✭✭
    There are apparently several different "extra tree" doubled dies. And this seems to be yet another. Send it on to Ken Potter.

    Last I heard it was up to four doubled dies, though only three of them show an extra tree. Could be another 1972 outburst.

    Personally, I'd keep it in its original packaging, at least for now but that's just me. I'm sure there are some who would pay a premium to buy one of these in the Mint celo, and we've seen what some have realized on ebay, raw.

    Follow-up: package is on its way to Ken P intact in the mint packaging. Will let you know when I hear if it is actually a 4th variety. Perhaps the ones in the uncirculated mint sets are different than the others that are not from mint sets.

    I just checked my mint sets and found three like this:

    How many types are there anyway and can someone provide pictures?

    I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.

    Perhaps they have re-instituted the daily ration of rum issued in the 1790's.......

    Update: My Mint set, satin finish Minnesota P quarter is a variety 4 and is very nicely photographed on Ken Potter's site and on the Numismatic News site that is linked to from his site.

    According to the article, PCGS will begin to certify these doubled dies

    Thanks for the update.

    It's also nice to see that they are trying to all list these with the same numbers in each cataloging system.

    Well, I never find this stuff, but went to the bank today and pulled my 2 Mint Sets out from 2005 I remebered and low and behold the Denver set has a Extra Tree DDR #1!!!

    I cannot believe it. Nothing else was found.
