United States Quarter Dollar (Statehood, Territory, or America the Beautiful Series)
United States Mint · Collectibles & Antiques > Coins & Paper Money
Era / Decade
1999-Present (Modern Era). Specifically, the 'D' mint mark indicates production at the Denver Mint.
Material
Cupro-nickel clad copper (8.33% Nickel, balance Copper). Weight: 5.67g.
Condition
Good to Very Good. This is a circulated coin (AMU). It shows visible surface scratches, bag marks, and light oxidation/toning near Washington's neck. It lacks the 'Full Lustre' of an uncirculated or proof coin.
Demand Level
Low. Because billions were minted, circulated examples are generally spent as currency rather than sold for profit.
Resale Value
Estimated Resale Value
$0.25 - $0.50 (Face Value to very slight premium for a collector filling a hole).
Estimated Retail Value
$0.25 (Face Value)
Comparable Sales
Millions of circulated quarters sell daily for exactly $0.25. High-grade (MS67+) certified examples can sell for $20-$50, but this coin does not meet that grade.
Description
A standard United States Quarter Dollar featuring the head of George Washington on the obverse. This specific coin bears the 'D' mint mark for Denver. The reverse (not pictured) would feature a unique design from the 50 State Quarters, District of Columbia and U.S. Territories, or America the Beautiful series.
Key Features
Low barrier to entry, legal tender, part of a widely collected series. The golden hue in the photograph appears to be lighting/white balance issues rather than a gold plating or 'Planchet Error'.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. Correct weight, diameter, and reeded edge construction. The 'D' mint mark is correctly positioned. No signs of casting bubbles or counterfeit indicators.
Flaws to Note
Significant circulation wear, surface abrasions, and lack of numismatic rarity. There are no visible major mint errors (doubled die, off-center) in this view.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Local bank or retail store (as currency). For higher-grade or error coins, eBay or local coin shops (LCS).
Selling Tips
Do not attempt to clean this coin, as cleaning destroys numismatic value. Unless you identify a specific mint error (like a 'Spitting Eagle' or 'Leaning Tree'), its best use is spending it at face value due to the high cost of shipping relative to the coin's worth.
