Design and Specifications of the 2008 Quarter
The 2008 Quarter was part of the 50 State Quarters Program, which began in 1999 and concluded in 2008. This year marked the final year of the program, featuring the last five states: Oklahoma, New Mexico, Arizona, Alaska, and Hawaii. The program was highly successful in generating public interest in coin collecting and U.S. history.

Rarity Factors and Value Drivers
The condition of 2008 Quarters significantly impacts their value, especially for circulation strikes. Coins in Mint State (MS) grades command premiums, with those grading MS67 and above being particularly desirable. For proof coins, the difference between PR69 and PR70 can be substantial in terms of value.
Strike quality, luster, and the absence of contact marks are crucial factors in determining grade and value. Coins with full strike details on high points like Washington’s hair and the state-specific reverse designs are more valuable.

Toning can significantly impact the value of 2008 Quarters, especially for proof issues. Attractively toned specimens often command premiums among collectors.
The 50 State Quarters Program’s popularity means that complete sets of all five 2008 designs in high grades are particularly sought after. First Day of Issue coins or those in original mint packaging may also carry a premium.
While not particularly rare, error coins such as off-center strikes, double dies, or wrong planchet errors can be valuable if discovered.
