Overview

A standard US quarter from the 50 State Quarters Program featuring the Charter Oak of Connecticut on the reverse.

Historical significance

The Statehood Quarters program was a 10-year initiative (1999–2008) to honor each of the 50 states. Connecticut was the fifth state to join the Union, thus the fifth coin released in the first year of the series.

Obverse (front)

Features the portrait of George Washington by John Flanagan, left-facing. Legends include 'UNITED STATES OF AMERICA', 'LIBERTY', 'IN GOD WE TRUST', and the 'P' mint mark.

Reverse (back)

Depicts the Charter Oak, which significant for hiding the Connecticut colonial charter in 1687. Inscriptions: 'CONNECTICUT 1788', 'THE CHARTER OAK', '1999', 'E PLURIBUS UNUM'. Designer: T. James Ferrell.

Estimated value

$0.25 in circulated condition, $0.50-$2.00 in Mint State uncirculated condition.

What drives this coin's value

Condition (Mint State vs. Circulated) and presence of minor errors. For this specific coin, P-mint versions are extremely common.

Grade assessment

About Uncirculated / Circulated. Shows surface marks and slight wear on highest details.

Mintage & rarity

688,744,000 (Very Common)

Authenticity & counterfeit red flags

Counterfeits are rare for common clad quarters. Verify weight (5.67g), reeded edge, and magnetic properties (should be non-magnetic).

Notable varieties & errors

There are 'leaking bucket' or 'crying eagle' errors in the Statehood series, but no major high-value varieties are specifically noted for the 1999-P Connecticut beyond minor die breaks.

Similar coins

Often confused with the standard Eagle-back Washington Quarter or other New England state quarters (like Massachusetts or Rhode Island) by casual observers.

Care & preservation

Avoid cleaning with chemicals or abrasives. Handle by the edges to prevent skin oils from causing toning. Store in a cool, dry place in archival-quality holders.
