Overview

A silver-colored United States quarter showing the obverse design used during the 50 State Quarters and America the Beautiful programs.

Historical significance

Starting in 1999, the US Mint began rotating the reverse designs of the quarter to honor the 50 states, followed by US territories and National Parks. This specific obverse design repositioned the inscriptions to make room for various reverse themes.

Obverse (front)

A portrait of George Washington facing left, based on Jean-Antoine Houdon's 1785 bust. Inscriptions: 'UNITED STATES OF AMERICA', 'LIBERTY', 'IN GOD WE TRUST', 'QUARTER DOLLAR'.

Reverse (back)

The reverse is not visible in the image. For this series, it would feature a design representing a US State, Territory, or National Park.

Estimated value

$0.25 (face value) if circulated; $1-$5 in high Uncirculated grades.

What drives this coin's value

Mint state condition, key date/mint combos (like 2019-W or 2020-W), and specific strike errors (doubled dies, off-center strikes).

Grade assessment

Circulated / About Uncirculated. The coin shows signs of pocket wear and surface scuffing characteristic of money used in daily transactions.

Mintage & rarity

Common; billions were minted annually. Most are extremely common unless they are rare error varieties or 'W' mint marks from 2019-2020.

Authenticity & counterfeit red flags

Check for the copper-colored stripe on the edge to confirm it is a standard clad coin. Counterfeits of common quarters are rare but usually lack crisp detail and have incorrect weights.

Notable varieties & errors

1999-P Delaware 'Spitting Horse', 2004-D Wisconsin 'Extra Leaf' (High or Low), and 2005-P Minnesota 'Extra Tree' varieties.

Similar coins

Standard Washington Quarters (1932-1998) which have 'Quarter Dollar' on the bottom of the reverse instead of the obverse.

Care & preservation

Do not clean or polish, as this reduces numismatic value. Handle by the edges only and store in a dry place, preferably in an acid-free holder.
