Brief Description
The obverse features a profile of George Washington facing left, based on John Flanagan's 1932 design. It includes the inscriptions 'UNITED STATES OF AMERICA', 'LIBERTY', 'IN GOD WE TRUST', and the 'D' mint mark indicating it was struck in Denver.
Historical Significance
This specific obverse design was used starting in 1999 for the 50 State Quarters program, the District of Columbia and U.S. Territories Quarters, and the America the Beautiful Quarters series. It moved the mint year and 'E Pluribus Unum' to the reverse side to allow more room for commemorative designs.
Estimated Value
Face value ($0.25) if found in circulation. Higher for uncirculated specimens or rare mint errors.
Care Instructions
Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid cleaning or polishing the coin as this can damage the surface and reduce any potential numismatic value. Handle by the edges to prevent skin oils from causing oxidation.
