1999 - 2009 Complete Uncirculated State Quarter in Map - 56 coins

The 50 States Quarters Program featured each of the U.S. States on unique designs from 1999 to 2008. This set also includes 6 territory quarters from the U.S. Territories Program. The 50 State Quarters were released by the United States Mint every ten weeks in the same order that the states ratified the constitution. These coins are in remarkable, uncirculated condition and truly unique as they are no longer available from the US Mint. Each quarter commemorates one of the 56 states and territories with a unique design based on its history, traditions and symbols. This beautiful state quarter set is perfect for a hobbyist or experienced collector. The set of 56 uncirculated quarters come presented in a display folder for secure protection and for showing off this spectacular collection to others.

State Quarter Designs

The obverse of each State Quarter features the same design - a portrait of George Washington. The design is similar to the previous design of the Washington Quarter series (1932 – 1998). It bears four inscriptions, some of which used to be on the reverse of the quarter. The obverse inscriptions are: “United States of America,” “Liberty,” “In God We Trust,” and “Quarter Dollar.”

The reverse of each State Quarter carries a design emblematic of one of the 50 States and 6 U.S. Territories. The authorizing legislation provided some basic guidelines for the design. Each quarter must bear a dignified design of which the citizens of the United States can be proud. No frivolous or inappropriate designs should be selected. In addition, the reverse design cannot use a head and shoulders portrait or bust of any person living or dead. No living person may be included in a design. Inscriptions typically found on all State Quarter reverses include the state name, statehood date, date of mintage, and “E Pluribus Unum.”

The complete set of coins are presented and housed in a beautiful display folder.
