The companion Wisconsin extra-leaf variety. The added leaf appears lower by the corn and is heavily collected.

A famous filled-die grease error where the T in TRUST can appear weak or missing. Common enough to hunt, but still popular with casual collectors.

Popular doubled-die reverse group with extra tree-like doubling near the normal trees. There are many listed varieties.

2005-D Minnesota Extra Tree DDR

Denver version of the Minnesota extra-tree doubled-die reverse. Worth checking both P and D examples.

Obverse doubling around the ear lobe area. A nice extra target beyond the better-known Minnesota extra-tree reverses.

Wyoming reverse doubled-die varieties are among the better State Quarter reference checks, especially around saddle and design details.
