Overview

Historical significance

This coin is part of the 50 State Quarters Program, which honored each U.S. state by featuring unique designs on the reverse of the quarter. The Illinois quarter pays tribute to Abraham Lincoln's early life in Illinois and the state's agricultural heritage and urban future, represented by the Chicago skyline.

Estimated value

Circulated coins are worth face value (25 cents). Uncirculated coins typically sell for slightly above face value, usually between "$0.50 - $2.00", depending on grading and mint mark. Errors or high-grade specimens can fetch more.

Care & preservation

To preserve the coin's condition, handle it by its edges to avoid transferring oils from your skin. Store it in a cool, dry place, ideally in an inert holder like a Mylar flip or a non-PVC album. Do not clean the coin, as this can damage its surface and reduce its numismatic value.
