Known Errors

Extra Leaf Wisconsin Quarter (2004)

Some 2004 Wisconsin quarters show an extra leaf on the corn ear — either pointing up (high leaf) or down (low leaf).

How to check: Examine the corn ear on the Wisconsin reverse carefully. Look for an additional leaf that should not be there, near the lower left of the ear.

$100 - $1,500+

Spitting Horse Delaware Quarter (1999)

A die gouge on the 1999 Delaware quarter creates what looks like a line of spit from the horse's mouth.

How to check: Look at the horse on the Delaware reverse. A raised die line near the mouth area indicates this error.

$10 - $50

Missing Clad Layer

One clad layer separated before striking, exposing the copper core on one side.

How to check: One side appears copper-colored instead of the normal silver appearance. The coin may also be slightly lighter.

$50 - $300

Broadstrike

Struck without the retaining collar, causing the coin to expand beyond normal diameter.

How to check: The coin will be visibly wider than a normal quarter with a smooth edge instead of reeded.

$25 - $200

Double Struck

The coin received two impressions from the dies, often with the second strike slightly offset.

How to check: Two overlapping images will be visible. The degree of offset determines the value.

$50 - $1,000+
