Design and Specifications of the 1999 Quarter

This program aimed to honor each of the 50 states in the order they joined the Union or ratified the Constitution. The obverse retained the classic George Washington design, while the reverse featured unique designs representing each state, changing five times throughout the year.

Rarity Factors and Value Drivers
The condition of 1999 Quarters significantly impacts their value, particularly for circulation strikes. Coins in Mint State (MS) condition, especially MS65 and above, command premium prices. For proof coins, the difference between PR69 and PR70 can be substantial.
Key factors affecting condition include:
– Strike quality: Well-struck coins with full detail are more desirable.
– Luster: Coins with original mint luster are highly prized.
– Surface preservation: Absence of contact marks, scratches, or other imperfections increases value.
– Toning: Natural, attractive toning can enhance value for some collectors.
