50 State Quarters, D.C., and Territories Coin Values

The United States Mint made the 50 state quarters from 1999 to 2008 and the District of Columbia and U.S. territories quarters in 2009. The U.S. Treasury Department estimated that more than 140 million people collected these coins. Many of these people hope to earn extra income or early retirement with the increased value of these coins. Now, 20 years later, many people are wondering how much their 50 state quarters are worth.

History of the U.S. 50 State Quarters Program

On December 1, 1997, Congress passed Public Law 105-124 that created the 50 state quarters program. It called for the release of circulating commemorative quarters by the United States Mint. The program ran from 1999 until 2008 with a common obverse design in a unique reverse design commemorating each of the 50 states. The Mint released the coins at the rate of five new reverse designs per year in the order that the state joined the Union.

The reverses are distinctive, bear the state name, the year that the state joined the Union, and the year of issuance. Each state was responsible for choosing the design for the reverse. Some states had a contest and invited citizens to submit designs, while other states selected their designs with a narrower scope. The governor of each state would choose the coin's design and approved by the Treasurer of the United States.

The program became the most successful coin collecting program in history. Experts estimate that half of the population of the United States collected these coins either casually or seriously with the intent to put together a full collection. In 2009, an additional six coins were issued to commemorate the District of Columbia and the five United States territories (Puerto Rico, Guam, United States Virgin Islands, American Samoa, and the Northern Mariana Islands).

The program was so successful that the Treasury Department decided to create another program based upon the fifty states, Washington DC, and the five territories. This new series is titled "America the Beautiful Quarters Program." This series ran from 2010 until 2021. The coins honor a site of "natural or stork significance" from each of the fifty states, the five territories, and the District of Columbia.

Market Analysis

State quarters are still circulating and can be collected right out of your pocket change. Therefore, most circulated examples are only worth their face value of 25 cents. Nice uncirculated sets are worth slightly more. Coins that grade MS-68 and are authenticated by a third-party grading service, sell for thousands of dollars in Internet coin auctions. However, finding coins in this high grade is highly unusual.
