Overview

Historical significance

This coin is part of the U.S. Mint's 50 State Quarters Program, which honored each of the 50 U.S. states. The New Jersey quarter commemorates a pivotal moment in American history: George Washington's daring crossing of the Delaware River on Christmas night 1776, leading to a surprise attack on Hessian forces in Trenton. This victory significantly boosted the morale of the Continental Army during a critical period of the Revolutionary War, solidifying New Jersey's role as the 'Crossroads of the Revolution.'

Estimated value

Circulated: $0.25 - $0.50; Uncirculated: $0.50 - $3.00 (depending on condition and mint mark). Proof versions may be higher.

Care & preservation

To preserve the coin's condition, especially if it's uncirculated or proof, avoid handling it directly with bare hands. Use soft cotton gloves. Store the coin in a stable environment, preferably in archival-safe holders, capsules, or albums to protect it from environmental damage like moisture, dust, and scratches. Do not clean the coin, as cleaning can damage its surface and significantly reduce its numismatic value.
