Overview

Historical significance

This coin is part of the 50 State Quarters Program, a series of circulating commemorative coins released by the U.S. Mint from 1999 to 2008. The Massachusetts quarter honors the state's pivotal role in the American Revolution, symbolized by the minuteman, a civilian soldier ready to fight at a 'minute's notice'. Massachusetts was the sixth state to ratify the U.S. Constitution.

Estimated value

Circulated Massachusetts state quarters are generally worth their face value ($0.25). Uncirculated or special mint state coins (S-mint proof, error coins) might fetch a few dollars to tens of dollars depending on condition and rarity.

Care & preservation

For circulated coins, no special care is typically needed. For uncirculated or collectible coins, handle by the edges to avoid fingerprints, store in Mylar flips or non-PVC holders to prevent environmental damage, and keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
