# 79 - The State Quarters - Part 3

in steemsilvergold •  7 years ago  (edited)

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.

I like them silver quarters,Do they cost a bunch over spot when they are graded like that?
Disclamer-I'm a noob when it comes to that!

In 2013 I paid $49 for the New Hampshire, $35 for the Virginia and $43 for the New York. You can find today's prices on Ebay.

Very nice US quarters.

Thank you, my friend. I intend to show the whole series.

I love it when i learn new stuffs

Thank you. I hope I have been useful.

Those are very beautiful silver coins !!!!!!

There are some that are ugly but on average they are almost beautiful. :=)

It is always nice to see a silver coin in perfect state. The ones I have are a little bit worn off because they are old and were used as currency :)

These are Proof coins and they never circulated.

I'm glad to see you're interested in Silver Collector Versions of U.S. Coinage... The ones shown will always have Collector and Silver Premiums attached, along with its Face Value... It's a Win, Win, far into the Future...

I have the State Quarters and the America the Beautiful series, all in silver.

That seems like a very good way to Stack Silver and Collect U.S. Coinage, all rolled into one...
You may want to look into the Presidential $1 Coins... I like them by the roll... 25 to a roll...

I have all the Presidential Coins in PF70 but they are not made of silver...

Awesome collection of state quarters my friend.

I have all of them in NGC PF70 and all will be shown in this series of articles.

Huh I didn't realize they had made versions of the new quarters that are 90% silver...I might have to start my own collection of these in the near future. I've been more into coins lately than bars and need to balance my collection a bit more towards things like these quarters (and I need to start adding some gold too).

They issued the regular strikes(circulating) weighting 5.67g with 75%Cu-25%Ni, the clad Proofs (75%Cu-25%Ni) and the silver Proofs (90%Ag-10%Cu).

Thank you for your continued support of SteemSilverGold
