Description

This group of 28 water-related mint state quarters contains 14 coins from each of the Philadelphia and Denver mints.   All of these coins were issued between 1999 and 2008.  The designs for the reverses were proposed by the individual states prior to approval by the Treasury.  All of the 50 state quarters were issued in the order that statehood was achieved except for the first 13 that were issued in the order that the Constitution was ratified.  The obverse is similar to the earlier quarter but, in order to make reverse side designs as large as possible, the legend UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and QUARTER DOLLAR were moved to the obverse side and Washington's portrait was made a bit smaller.


Give yourself, your children and your grandchildren mint coins memorializing an important aspect of Vermont.  This original bank roll of Vermont quarters was issued in 2001 as the 14th of the 50 State Quarters to be issued.  The final design, chosen by Governor Dean, was 1 of 5 submitted by the Vermont Arts Council.  The reverse of the coin features maple sugaring (trees, buckets, man tending them) as well as Camel's Hump, one of the highest points in Vermont, which was also included in all 4 of the final designs submitted.


We all know that the symbol of New Hampshire has fallen down.  All we have is memories well captured on these coins.  Consider breaking up the rolls, putting them in envelopes and writing the names of your children, grandchildren and perhaps great-grandchildren so they can have an image of the state symbol. These 2 mint state rolls of the New Hampshire State quarter were minted respectively at the Philadelphia and Denver mints.  These quarters were the ninth of the 50 state series to be released in the year 2000.  The coin's reverse features the state motto "Live Free or Die", and the most interesting geological formation referred to as "The Old Man in the Mountain".  Very sadly, on May 3, 2003, after days of very heavy wind and rain, the Old Man just crumbled down into the valley below.  It was not a happy day for New Hampshire people.
