Starting in 1999 the US Mint issued a 10 years program that honored each of the nation’s states in the order that they ratified the Constitution or were admitted into the Union. They chose the $.25 coin to be the vessel of the homage.
All the coins obverses show the same profile of George Washington and the reverses were usually chosen in popular contests in each state.
All the coins that I am presenting here are NGC PF70 Ultra Cameo with 90% silver purity and weight of 6.3g.
Continuing the series, today's first coin is the 2000 "New Hampshire". It features a natural rock formation known as “The Old Man of the Mountain.” Unfortunately, the formation crumbled several years after the quarter’s release.
The second is the 2000 "Virginia". It features three ships bringing settlers to Jamestown, the first permanent English settlement in America. The quarter is meant to celebrate the 400th anniversary of the settlement in 2007.
The third is the 2001 "New York". It features the Statue of Liberty. As one of the most recognized symbols in the country, this was an easy choice for the design.
This series will continue very soon.
