Arizona Error Quarter

I just searched many Arizona Quarters and found 355 of the minor errors where the designer's intials are covered by an extra cactus leaf. I see these are selling on eBay for between $4-$8 each plus shipping.

Example

What do you a good price for these would be?

    That's the first I've heard of that one. Die chip, I guess.
    I like the extra cactus leaf over the number 0, that has been discussed here.
    At the Denver Mint floor tour I went on last Friday as part of the ANA Summer Seminar, they showed us the dies for the Arizona reverse and I mentioned the extra cactus leaf error. They said it must be from the Philly Mint since the Denver Mint doesn't make any errors. I did see a few waffle coins in bins there, tho'.

    Talk about an infomercial! And I get slammed because I wanted an opinion of a coin that happened to be on the BST, yet was not even mentioned as being for sale?

    Today I looked at the Arizona quarters I picked up at the Denver Mint and found two with extra cactii over the designer's initials.
    One is a big blob actually covering some initials, the other is a smaller blob approaching the initials.
    I think I'll keep them.

    edited to add:
    Actually, these are P mint coins, that I picked up for face value at the ANA Money Museum store.
