Overview

A 25-cent coin featuring a frontiersman looking into the Cumberland Gap on the reverse and George Washington on the obverse.

Historical significance

Part of the America the Beautiful Quarters Program (2010-2021). The Cumberland Gap was the primary route for westward migration in the late 18th century.

Obverse (front)

Portrait of George Washington facing left, based on the 1932 design by John Flanagan. Legends: UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, LIBERTY, IN GOD WE TRUST, QUARTER DOLLAR.

Reverse (back)

A frontiersman with a rifle looking towards the 'First Doorway to the West.' Legends: CUMBERLAND GAP, KENTUCKY, 2016, E PLURIBUS UNUM. Designed by Barbara Fox; engraved by Joseph Menna.

Estimated value

$0.25 (face value) in circulated condition; up to $1-$5 in high uncirculated grades (MS-65+).

What drives this coin's value

Condition/grade is the primary factor. Mint errors (like die chips or doubling) can add value.

Grade assessment

Circulated (appears to be in the Extremely Fine to About Uncirculated range based on visible luster and wear).

Mintage & rarity

Common; approximately 438,600,000 minted at Philadelphia.

Authenticity & counterfeit red flags

Weight and diameter should match specifications; look for crisp details. Counterfeits of common quarters are extremely rare.

Notable varieties & errors

Die chips on the reverse (sometimes called 'bird on the shoulder' errors) are common minor varieties sought by hobbyists.

Similar coins

Often confused with the 1999 Kentucky State Quarter, which features an image of Federal Hill (My Old Kentucky Home) rather than the Cumberland Gap.

Care & preservation

Do not clean or polish. Handle by the edges to prevent oils from damaging the surface. Store in a PVC-free folder or holder.
