Extra husk leaves on Wisconsin quarters? Looks like there is some sort of problem (intentional or otherwise, we don't know yet) with some of the new Wisconsin state quarters that is turning a 25 cent coin into a coin worth hundreds of dollars! Check your pockets, folks. The quarters, which appear to have an extra leaf on the left side of an ear of corn, are being sold on eBay and in coin shops for hundreds of dollars. In some of the coins, the leaf is tilted up; in others, it is tilted down. Still unknown as to how the flaw happened- some speculate that it was intentional, as the 'flaw' is so accurate- it truly looks like extra leaves on the corn stalk. Click to read the whole story, with photos of the quarters. Also- here's a good link to a photo set that shows what they look like: Photo Set
