Is it worth searching rolls for Wisconsin extra leafs?

I see quite a few rolls on ebay of 2004 D Wisconsin quarters. Is it worth the try? Are rolls from Tuscon and San Antonio the only ones with extra leafs?
One guy is selling two rolls for $120.00 the rolls are suppose to be from Flagstaff?

Well what do you guys think?

Turn on your PM. Don't be scammed. Those people are some of the scum of the earth.

Any from the area are worth looking at but not worth much of a premium. Too
many million won't comntain a single example.

I think I would pass. They all seem to pass through AZ or San Antonio.

I wouldn't think so. ANy body can say a roll is from Tucson or San Antonio. I'd be careful.

I live just north of San Antonio, Tx and have enjoyed living the Wisconsin Discovery Experience here in South Texas since January, 2005. IMHO the Wisconsin Extra Leaf Quarters were shipped almost entirely to Arizonia and South/Central Texas. Get out a Texas map. I believe that the large Ballistic Mint Bag that went through the San Antonio , Tx Branch of the Federal Reserve was distributed no further North than say Killeen, Tx and down to the Texas Valley, East maybe to Smithville/Columbus and West to Kerville, Fredericksburg and Marble Falls. I bought rolls of WI D quarters in many of those areas and inward towards San Antonio in Jan/Febr of 2005. I can not speak with any knowledge as to what areas of Arizonia besides Tucson and Phoenix received the Extra Leaf Quarters. I have heard it mentioned that a few showed up in Flagstaff but I really would hate to bet on it.

In regards to buying unsearched, unopened rolls of WI D Quarters at this late date, I would buy them on the basis that you are "Not" going to find any Extra Leaf Quarters. It would be like a fun trip to Las Vegas !! If you want to gamble and you might like to find other errors such as: The Sunken Die WI D Quarter or a off-center coin, then buy the rolls for only a few dollars over face and enjoy the fun but don't get your hopes up. When all is said and done, buying a graded Wisconsin Extra Leaf Quarter fron a reptuable deal such as Rick or Rob or Brent in Tuscon, AZ makes the most sense to me.

Have a great day collecting coins. Mark Smith.

Thanks Mark for the in depth report on extra leafs in Texas.
I lived in San Antonio until 2003. Now Iam in Wisconsin and missed the extra leaf when they were discovered.

That's ironic.

Mark ... I would agree... be very careful with those who are selling rolls ... especially those who have not had a recent find in their feedback for over 6+ months.
Professionally graded and slabbed coins are your best bet whether NGC or PCGS ... you'll pay a premium but from what I saw and heard in recent news .. these
varieties sound like they were intentionally designed as an added engraved or tapped element into pre-hardned dies from a Denver mint employee/worker. These
just might double or triple in price within a year or two! According to a fellow who followed the TCG populations reports and price guides ... hands down these are the
highest prized / priced statehood quarter of all them as of today.

He also stated that in fact "these two special" varieties of the WI's will most likely be the key prize to all the statehood quarters and we have not seen such an variety
quarter dollar from the US Mint in over 130 years! .. with 1877S/ horizontal S as far as unusal design elements shown on a quarter dollar. He did state that you
could also include the 1918/17S but that is something that is not as unusal because it has also happen before with many other denominations of us mint coinage.

If this fellow is off the mark in anyway .. then I would be happy to hear anyones input on this.
