State quarter error I didn't know existed until last week

Pulled a 2004 Wisconsin state quarter from a roll at my bank and noticed this extra leaf sticking out of the corn. Looked it up and found out these error coins can sell for $300 or more depending on condition, which blew my mind since I almost spent it on a soda. Anyone else ever find a known error coin just sitting in regular change?

Did you check the type of extra leaf yet? There's the "low leaf" and "high leaf" versions and they carry different values, so that matters more than people think. If you haven't already, put it in a non-PVC flip or a 2x2 holder ASAP, because even a tiny scratch kills the price. I'd also weigh it first just to make sure it's not a plated fake, then hit up a local coin shop for a free opinion before you even think about selling online.
