Brief Description

The obverse features the left-facing profile of George Washington. The text includes 'UNITED STATES OF AMERICA', 'LIBERTY', 'IN GOD WE TRUST', and 'QUARTER DOLLAR', along with a 'P' mint mark indicating it was struck in Philadelphia.

Historical Significance

Starting in 1999, the United States Mint began the 50 State Quarters program, which featured a circulating commemorative design on the reverse for each of the 50 states. This specific obverse design was modified slightly for that program to move some text to the front.

Estimated Value

$0.25 USD (Face value). Unless it is an uncirculated specimen or a rare error, it is generally worth its face value.

Care Instructions

Avoid cleaning the coin with chemicals or abrasives as this can destroy its numismatic value. Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a protective coin flip or plastic holder to prevent scratching and oxidation.
