SKH-25c-1999P-07 & 08(GA) Spiked Head

Description

An unusual combined catalog entry, SKH-25c-1999P-07 & 08(GA) documents two spiked head varieties on the 1999-P Georgia State Quarter cataloged together — possibly originating from the same die or discovered simultaneously. Georgia was the fourth state honored in the inaugural year of the 50 State Quarters Program in 1999, alongside Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Connecticut. The reverse design features a peach superimposed on a state outline, flanked by live oak branches and the state motto "Wisdom, Justice, Moderation." Spiked heads on State Quarters manifest as raised projections from Washington's portrait on the obverse, created by die gouges or chips near the bust. The combined "07 & 08" numbering stands out — most entries document individual varieties, making this dual listing noteworthy. Philadelphia Mint production on copper-nickel clad planchets. State Quarter spiked heads attracted collector attention during the program's peak popularity when millions of Americans actively examined their pocket change. Cataloged and verified by Cuds on Coins.
