Overview

A 25-cent coin featuring George Washington on the obverse and three sailing ships on the reverse commemorating the state of Virginia.

Historical significance

The Virginia quarter was the 10th coin released in the 50 State Quarters Program. It commemorates Jamestown, Virginia, the first permanent English settlement in the Americas, founded in 1607.

Obverse (front)

Portrays George Washington based on the original 1785 bust by Houdon. Inscriptions: 'UNITED STATES OF AMERICA', 'LIBERTY', 'IN GOD WE TRUST', 'QUARTER DOLLAR' and the 'P' mint mark.

Reverse (back)

Features the three ships (Susan Constant, Godspeed, and Discovery) that brought the first English settlers to Jamestown. Inscriptions: 'VIRGINIA', '1788', 'JAMESTOWN 1607-2007', '2000', and 'E PLURIBUS UNUM'.

Estimated value

$0.25 in circulated condition; $1.00-$3.00 in high uncirculated (MS-65+) grades.

What drives this coin's value

Condition (uncirculated vs circulated), mint mark (P, D, or S), and the presence of any rare errors or die varieties.

Grade assessment

Circulated (Fine to Very Fine) based on visible surface wear and scratches.

Mintage & rarity

943,000,000 (Philadelphia); Common

Authenticity & counterfeit red flags

Check for the copper layer visible on the reeded edge. Weight should be near 5.67g. Counterfeits of this specific non-precious common coin are very rare.

Notable varieties & errors

There are no major widely recognized variety errors for this specific date, though minor 'doubled dies' or 'die chips' are occasionally sought by specialists.

Similar coins

Other 50 State Quarters; could be confused with the 2007 Jamestown commemorative silver dollar (which is much larger and silver).

Care & preservation

Handle by the edges to avoid oils from skin. Store in a cool, dry place in an acid-free holder. Do not clean, as cleaning can abrasive the surface and lower numismatic value.
