The correct Wisconsin quarter, bottom, has a few misprints lurking in spare change. Look closely, and you'll find a corn stalk leaf hanging lower in the top and middle photos.

I haven't even seen one of these yet. The new quarters seem to show up in California later than they do everywhere else.

Is it known which variant of the misprint is the more rare?

BTW the Massachusetts quater has a Minuteman with *horrors* a rifle :)

As a kid, I used to go thru our family's spare change, looking for those coins publicized as "Rare quarter brings $100,000", etc.

Rats. I just had a couple of these and gave them to the counterman as change to lighten my pocket.

For those who asked, the bottom picture shows the correct quarter.

You can see an extra leaf on the left side below the others in the middle picture. And I think there's a vague leaf or line across the bottom arc of the leaf on the left in the top picture, which isn't in the bottom picture. That's a bit hard to tell from these reproductions.

I can see the extra leaf, but the real crime is that one of the cows looks gay.
