The 50 State Quarters Coin program is considered to be the most successful coin campaign ever launched by the United States Mint. To a certain degree the coins are kind of old news at this point. However, when the state quarters were first released there was a tremendous amount of attention paid by the American public and the anticipation for the release of the next new state was unlike anything ever seen in coin collecting.
We often get asked what state quarters are worth now that some of them are getting close to twenty years old. And the reality is that 99.9999% of state quarters are still just worth 25 cents and will likely always just be worth 25 cents. However, there are two things to look out for; those are errors and proof silver quarter. The silver quarters are still basically just worth their weight in silver. However, some of the error quarters are quite valuable. There are known valuable errors that exist for the state quarters from Arizona, Wyoming, Colorado, Kansas, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Delaware.
The 50 State quarters (authorized by Pub.L. 105–124 (text) (pdf), 111 Stat. 2534, enacted December 1, 1997) was a series circulating commemorative quarters released by the United States Mint. Minted from 1999 through 2008, they featured unique designs for each of the 50 US states on the reverse. 50 State Quarters Program Launched in 1999, the United States Mint’s 50 State Quarters Program was a 10-year initiative that honored each of the nation’s states in the order that they ratified the Constitution or were admitted into the Union. Each quarter was produced for about 10 weeks and will never be produced again.
