Hype is NOT going away as ANOTHER article appeared today (2/10/05) on page 3 of USA Today's Business section. I thought that was odd since they ran pretty much the same story on page 1A just one day earlier. Must be a cheese head conspiracy...or a Green Bay Packer fan working at the Denver mint. http://www.usatoday.com/money/2005-...r-usat_x.htmEdited by zakgold

I still think it will be a fad. I think they're going to find that there are a lot more out there than originally believed and the prices will drop quite a bit.

Please read my latest thread : numismatic rarity or fad.

This is the kind of thing I wouldn't mind having one of, but one would be enough. Just so I can say I have it, you know... If I can find it in circulation and pay face value for it, then I'll take it.

Having one would be great but not at the expense of %60 to $80 bucks! Finding one in a roll or in circulation would make it a keeper but I am not falling for the apparent media hype that has just begun. Most journalists don't have a clue about coin collecting and will jump on the "breaking" news as it is given to them and from that point on the "drama" explodes. I just can't believe the error collectors are searching so hard for something NEW to spend their hard earned money on?

What I want to know is when can WE expect our double eagles for being such great guys, not to mention, such great friends with our buddy Catman? Wanted to make sure I stayed on your official "gold give-away-list"! Sure don't want to slip off of that list!

Hey now, what about great girls? Just because we're the minority here...  I had about five customers come in today and ask about these "extra leaf" quarters. I probably spent a good five minutes trying to convince this little old man that they're probably not worth anything more than face value- I guess he'd seen one for sale somewhere for some outrageous sum of money and was actually thinking about buying it.

What is it again?...condition, rarity, market demand...it seems that these quarters have these going for them. It sure is getting a ton of press...matter of fact, I had 3 family members contact me out of the blue to talk: Wisconsin quarters! They knew I collected coins, but called me to discuss "leaves"!?! Well...if these 3 called me...there is hype out there! It will be interesting to see where they end up next year. I just hope that I am lucky enough to find one. I'll hold on to it and see what the market bears next year. You have to admit, not since 1995 with the Lincoln DDO which needs a magnifier to see has a specific coin caused so much uproar. |

It now appears these coins may have been made from intentionally damaged dies? In any case they are NOT errors issued by the mint but a result of the dies being carelessly handled or intentionally damaged. And, after visiting the Denver mint and seeing how many thousands of coins can be struck every minute I would think there are far more than we can imagine floating around out there. And, even if there isn't, why would anyone want to pay a tremendous premium for this quarter? I am sorry but I just don't see the big deal? It is not like they misspelled something or created a double die?
