Overview

A United States 25-cent coin featuring George Washington on the obverse and symbols of Wisconsin on the reverse.

Historical significance

Part of the 50 State Quarters Program (1999-2008), this coin honors Wisconsin's admission to the Union on May 29, 1848. It highlights the state's agricultural heritage.

Obverse (front)

A portrait of George Washington facing left, with the inscriptions 'UNITED STATES OF AMERICA', 'LIBERTY', 'IN GOD WE TRUST', and 'QUARTER DOLLAR'.

Reverse (back)

Features a cow, a round of cheese, and an ear of corn. Inscriptions include 'WISCONSIN', '1848', 'FORWARD', '2004', and 'E PLURIBUS UNUM'.

Estimated value

$0.25 in circulated condition; $1-$5 in high Mint State (MS-65+); $50-$1,000+ for specific 'Extra Leaf' varieties.

What drives this coin's value

Mint condition, presence of specific die varieties (Extra Leaf), and luster.

Grade assessment

Circulated (Fine to Very Fine); visible wear on Washington's hair and the high points of the cow and corn on the reverse.

Mintage & rarity

Common; 226,800,000 produced at the Denver Mint in 2004.

Authenticity & counterfeit red flags

Check for common weight (5.67g) and magnetic properties (should not be magnetic). Look for the copper 'sandwich' line on the edge.

Notable varieties & errors

The 'Extra High Leaf' and 'Extra Low Leaf' varieties on the reverse corn stalk are famous and highly valuable.

Similar coins

Care & preservation

Handle by the edges to avoid finger oils; do not clean with chemicals or abrasives, as this lowers numismatic value; store in a PVC-free flip or protective folder.
