http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...947632&fvi=1 Now we have all heard of the extra leaf error for the wisconsin quarter now we have a tree that is extra on the Minnesota quarter, do you think this will be the next BIG buck coin like the extra leaf coins was? If you look on the mints website of the quarter you will in fact see that it is really showing a extra Tree on the coin. And how many have we all spent in this condition? how much time did this guy have on his hands to actually notice that little extra tree Edited by Bryan1315

The guy has already in his description turned this from an error to a deception,, if the tree was added by a mint employee engraver then it is not an error coin.
I feel the same way about the extra leaf winconsin quarters, they are a deception IMO.
at best they are a variety if the die was modified, not an error .

It doesn't look like a regular error coin it looks like metalman said added on.

the point of it is (even though not a error) it would be corrected with the next die used so it will be a rarity and isn't that what everyone wants?
nds76 good luck on this one, even though I have made it a practice not to bid against forum members this may have to be a exception, Just kidding I dont think I will bid on it but I thought it was very interesting and will probably be in the catagory of the extra leaf quarters which sell for a couple hundred of dollars already. So error or not it sure is very sought after because its rarity

Maybe it's an error and maybe it's not. But nonetheless its a rare variety.

If I could and I would have done I will tell people who are bidding that that a delibrate error if I might say and bid only if you truly want and because it says it is a so-called "error"

Someone in "error" put the extra tree in there when making the die, just like they in "error" put the extra leaf on the other one so is it an error? I think if it was done in error at any of the processes including making the dies it is an error, doesn't have to be a coin that has a strike error to be a error |

Very true Bryan very true but do you actually think the engraver made a little oops? How do we know he made the accident on purpose. And another thing how do we know the coin itself is real?[:0] |

buffaloboy I will answer that question when I get mine. But I did not put this here to argue if it was a error or a variety or if it was legit or counterfit, I just thought it was interesting and when I saw it I could only think of the extra leaf design of Wisconsin and I wondered if we can see a simular fate with this one and thought maybe everyone else would think it was interesting as well
