1999 Quarter Value: Georgia, Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Connecticut

The 50 Statehood Quarters program that started in 1999 was the most popular series in the history of American coinage collecting. Collectors, particularly novices, adored the idea of honoring each state. The first five issued coins were dedicated to states that ratified the Constitution first.

Each coin was minted for ten weeks without the possibility of producing it ever again. The 1999 quarter value is still determined by the first year of minting when collector enthusiasm peaked. Besides, pieces of the highest quality are rare nowadays, increasing their prices.

Features of the 1999 Quarters

The 50 State Quarter Program began with the first five states in 1999, honoring the first ones that ratified the Constitution. They have Washington’s portrait on the obverse and crucial symbols identifying each state on the reverse.

• UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
• LIBERTY
• IN
• GOD WE
• TRUST
• The mint mark (P, D, or S)
• JF WC (initials of the original designer, John Flanagan, and engraver who revised the portrait, William Cousins)
