Overview

A circulating United States quarter featuring George Washington on the obverse and the Kentucky State design (mansion and horse) on the reverse.

Historical significance

Part of the 50 State Quarters Program (1999–2008). Kentucky was the 15th state to join the Union, admitted on June 1, 1792. The reverse celebrates the state's heritage in horse racing and architecture.

Obverse (front)

Portrays a profile of George Washington by John Flanagan, modified for the statehood series. Legends: 'UNITED STATES OF AMERICA', 'LIBERTY', 'IN GOD WE TRUST', and 'QUARTER DOLLAR'.

Reverse (back)

Features a Thoroughbred horse behind a fence with the mansion 'Federal Hill' in the background. Inscriptions: 'KENTUCKY 1792', 'MY OLD KENTUCKY HOME', '2001', and 'E PLURIBUS UNUM'. Designer: T. James Ferrell.

Estimated value

$0.25 in circulated condition; $1-$3 in high Mint State (MS-65+); higher for specific errors.

What drives this coin's value

Value is primarily determined by the presence of mint luster and the absence of surface scratches. Errors, such as off-center strikes or die cracks, can significantly increase value.

Grade assessment

Circulated (appears to be around Extremely Fine to About Uncirculated depending on surface marks).

Mintage & rarity

353,000,000 (Philadelphia). Common.

Authenticity & counterfeit red flags

Check for the distinct copper band on the edge. Verify weight (5.67g). Weight and details on genuine coins are crisp; fakes often have soft details or bubbly surfaces.

Notable varieties & errors

Die cracks and doubled dies are occasionally found, though no major high-value varieties are widely cataloged for this specific year/mint compared to others.

Similar coins

Other State Quarters from 2001 (NY, NC, RI, VT). Can be distinguished by the state name at the top of the reverse.

Care & preservation

Avoid cleaning with chemicals or abrasives. Handle by the edges to prevent skin oils from causing toning. Store in a PVC-free flip or coin folder.
