Heard about it on news yesterday.  I've only looked at one so far. :P

I'm right next to wisconsin, well borderline somewhat, so we get a lot of the quarters in here, next time I go to work I'll have to ask to get on the cash register and look through the quarters there :)

Dammit, now everyone'll be looking for them. Found this a few weeks ago, haven't found any yet. They've been going for 500+ cash dollars. There's a problem with your logic Mythix, the quarters didn't actually come out of Wisconsin. They came out of Texas.

I've known about it since it was published either online or on the news, my dad showed me the article, I just read the "QUARTER WORTH A LOT".

Oh wells, its bound to show up here somewhere.

Theres a problem with that too, Quik. The "D" coins, refering to their "mint mark", come from Denver, Colorado. The "P" coins come from Philly. If you know any coin collectors and hear them say something about an "S" coin, it came from San Francisco, but their mint only makes "proof" coins now, which are the really shiny, double-stamped ones.
I'd personally do as Joe suggests

You might be right about that, Joe.
