Overview

A standard US Washington quarter featuring the New Hampshire Statehood reverse design depicting the Old Man of the Mountain.

Historical significance

Part of the popular 50 State Quarters Program initiated by the United States Mint to honor each of the 50 states in the order they ratified the Constitution. New Hampshire was the 9th state.

Obverse (front)

The standard portrait of George Washington facing left, surrounded by the inscriptions 'UNITED STATES OF AMERICA', 'LIBERTY', 'IN GOD WE TRUST', and the mint mark 'P'.

Reverse (back)

Depicts the famous rock profile 'Old Man of the Mountain', nine stars representing New Hampshire as the ninth state to ratify the Constitution, the state motto 'LIVE FREE OR DIE', and the inscriptions 'NEW HAMPSHIRE', '1788', '2000', and 'E PLURIBUS UNUM'.

Estimated value

$0.25 - $0.50 in circulated condition

What drives this coin's value

Condition (Mint State grades), error varieties such as doubled dies or missing clad layers, and overall eye appeal.

Grade assessment

About Uncirculated (AU) to Mint State (MS), showing minor contact marks consistent with light circulation or bag handling.

Mintage & rarity

High mintage, extremely common (over 1.1 billion total combined Philadelphia and Denver mintages for this specific design)

Authenticity & counterfeit red flags

Counterfeits are virtually non-existent for modern circulating state quarters due to their low face value and high mintage.

Notable varieties & errors

Minor doubled die obverse/reverse variations and occasional planchet errors, though most are worth face value unless graded in pristine MS67 or higher condition.

Similar coins

Other quarters from the 50 State Quarters series issued between 1999 and 2008.

Care & preservation

Handle by the edges to avoid transferring oils from skin. Store in a dry environment in a 2x2 cardboard flip or plastic capsule if preserving; cleaning is discouraged as it ruins numismatic value.
