Does anyone track prices on Wisconsin extra leaves ?

thebeav

Hello,
I was just wondering how the Wisconsin's are doing. Does anyone track the sale prices?
Thank you !

I usually use CoinValues and look for ads in coin publications to see what dealers are asking for them - seem to be holding steady in price over the last few months - anyone else see it differently??

pitboss

That is what I see also. I don't see a big increase in prices at this time but it will not take a whole lot of interest to make them explode in value at any time. It may not happen until the quarter program is finished.

try minterrornews.com- i know i've seen it on the last few issues on the wisconsin's - it has the prices that were sold on ebay grades & raw ones
its really neat to see price differences

Yes, Al's coins was tracking them the last few years although they never kept track on everyone sold which of course would be a dubious task.

Well, here it is four and a half months later.....Time to resurrect this old thread. Have the prices held up ?
That Mint Error News rag is too difficult to read on line. That Adobe stuff is rough.
Anyone follow them ?

pitboss

I still follow them but have not seen much interest in them lately. The prices have not increased over the past 6 months and may have dropped a little bit. There has not been much talk at all about them.

I think they have softened a tad. That can be a good thing, for buyers and, eventually, sellers.

There was one of each on the BST board a week or so ago. Can't remember what they were asking for them...

I guess I am in this for a long haul. I believe that the 35 of these that I have rangeing from AU 55 to MS67 (all ANACS graded) are going to be worth a lot of money in 10 years time.

Actual sale prices for various grades of WI Extra Leaf Quarters are unimpressive to say the least. Particularly six months following Rick and Chris' informative ANA Presentation last August. No real price guide like the Greysheet. No prices listed by variety and grade in the Redbook. No market makers in place. The syndicate of Ebay promoters have disappeared and left many people wishing that they had not purchased these coins at higher Ebay prices now that the prices have fallen. Ken Potter and a few other error experts despise these coins kicknamed " Extra Leaf" quarters and discount them as simply a fad. Error coin money now has to be spent on "Godless Dollars", MN DDOs. Not to mention on Gold/Silver/Platinum and all of the new issues coming from the US Mint. Remember, dollar spending will dry up durring our current US Recession.

Even with all of the negatives and Gloom and Doom surrounding these WI quarters, one best not count them out. The MS 66/67 graded coins are still weak and still overpriced. Especially, NGC. The lower grades have held up much better in price. This is a sign that the state quarter collectors want the coins for their sets. A set of state quarters is not complete according to many people if the set lacks the Extra Leaf coins. It will take many more years than I expected for the varieties to appreciate. I trust that young collectors enjoy the coins and have many years to see them be appreciated. Currently, the coins are too political and have a steep up hill battle. Maybe the US Mint will eventually tell the world who was responsible from the varieties. Only time will tell !

they seem to be dropping on Teletrade

I bought an ANACS 63 highleaf for $130 + bp/sh


I was watching yesterday a NGC 66 triple set
that went for $550 + bp/sh


prices holding still on eBay

I think the biggest issue is the fact that a lot of these coins are currently in "hoards" and there are not a lot of them circulating for sale. I must admit that I have quite a few from the stash I found and a coworker of mine still has about 70 ungraded coins. I fell that until more get into circulation and once we get a better idea of true numbers of extra leafs out there, the market may not bounce higher for a while.

jimmymac

IMO, once the State Quarter Program is finished and some collectors realize that they dont have an extra leaf WI to complete the set, prices will start going up - but then again maybe collectors could give a %^&$ - time will tell - at any rate, still an interesting story and variety.

The Wisconsin Extra Leaf High and Extra Leaf Low will be priced by variety and grade in the 2009 edition of the Red Book (available April 8).

pitboss

That might help the prices.

Just looking at auction history is the only way I know. Some have sold on Heritage, most seem to be on Teletrade and a few on e-bay.

I believe the Denver Mint has found the low leaf die discarded in a box hidden in one of the mint employees room.

pitboss

That sounds like a good rumor to spread!
