The back of this quarter shows a cow's head, a round of cheese and an ear of corn, the state grain, under a banner that reads "Forward". It is part of the 50 State Quarters series. Only the Denver coin has the known extra leaf errors, so the mint mark is the first thing to check.
How to tell
- Check the date. The coin must say 2004.
- Find the mint mark. A D means Denver and a P means Philadelphia. A P coin is an ordinary quarter.
- Turn to the back. Look at the corn stalk beside the ear of corn.
- Look on the left side of the stalk. A normal coin has no extra leaf there. An extra leaf is the sign of the error.
- See which way the leaf goes. If it curves up to touch the ear, it is the high leaf. If it bends down, it is the low leaf.
A magnifying glass helps. Compare your coin with a normal 2004 Wisconsin quarter if you have one.
The common coins
Philadelphia and Denver both made this quarter in huge numbers. A coin from either mint with no extra leaf is worth face value. Spend it or keep it as a souvenir.
The extra leaf errors
Both errors are on the 2004-D, and both show an extra leaf on the left of the corn stalk. The high leaf, which reaches up to the ear, is worth more than the low leaf, which bends away from it.
These prices are for coins that a grading service has graded and sealed. An ungraded coin from your change usually sells for less, and its condition and the buyer decide how much.
Condition
A coin that has spent years in pockets and change drawers shows wear. The values above are for worn coins, and a sharper coin with the same leaf is worth more than a flat, tired one.
Do not clean your coin. Rubbing, polishing or using chemicals leaves marks and lowers its value, and a dealer can spot a cleaned coin quickly. If you think you have an extra leaf quarter, handle it by the edges and store it in an inert, PVC-free holder or a hard plastic capsule. A professional grading service can confirm the error and grade the coin. Grading costs money, so it makes sense only if the leaf is clear.

Questions
Is every 2004 Wisconsin quarter valuable?
No. A normal 2004-P or 2004-D quarter is worth face value. Only the Denver coins with an extra leaf are worth more.
Does the Philadelphia coin have the extra leaf?
Price guides list the extra leaf errors only for the 2004-D. Check the mint mark first. If your coin is a P, it is a common coin.
What if my coin has a different mark on the corn?
Only the extra leaf on the left of the stalk is listed here, either curving up to the ear or bending down. Other scratches and marks are usually damage from use and do not add value.
Where can I learn about other state quarters?
See the guide to all 50 State Quarters. You can also read about the 1999 Delaware state quarter or the 2005 Kansas state quarter.
