LOL Rip, my dad gave me one of those very sets from the year that I was born, 1961  

Now if I could only figure out which junk drawer it lives in now...

anyway, if they buy it on ebay they'll probably over pay for it

(no date found for this)
Here is the quarter that is in all the news, with only half of the story,
and grossly overestimated values.
This 'error' is on the Denver (D) Mint Wisconsin Quarter ONLY!

As you can see above, the normal quarter (far left) has no 'extra'
husks to the ear of corn, whereas the two 'errors' seem to have
an extra husk, either high, or low.  

At this time, we have only seen SELLING prices, from $150.00
to $395.00, but no solid, honest, BUY prices on these 'errors',
therefore, we are not offering to buy any at this time, nor do
we have any for sale at this time.

150-400 dollars for a quarter... and you tell me about overpriced.. its all in the collectors eyes.. there are currently 3 errors on the wisconsin coin.. high leaf, low leaf.. and the second leaf.. you pick.. guarentee more that .25 cents thats for sure.. ive been collecting coins for 22 years.. granted new state quarters doesnt tickle my fancy.. i still look for them.. would i pay 1000 for a quarter???? maybe one from the 1800s... if i won the powerball.. ha ha ha

the meat of my collection is .50 cent peices.. i dont know why, but the halves are the most attractive coins out there.. i have seated liberty, barber, walking liberty, franklin, and kennedys... very nice coins..

I figure by the time I'm 80 they might be worth something.

i would buy that off you in a heart beat.. look at that penny... look at the nice red color it has now.. that fetches a few extra bucks... that franklin still has a nice color and shine... that franklin is worth 12 bucks alone.. very very nice..

Well I did say it was a real PIA to get at didnt I?























LOL no. that would be too risky. What if I got a bad case of the chits or case of beer farts? I could loose it.

No its well hidden inside the house. Just has about a ton of other watermelon on top of it LOL

If you find them, I'll give you the current market value for it. I'd like to have the consecutive years from 1957 to 1965.
