Description

A quarter from the Philadelphia Mint, the 2002 (P) Tennessee State Quarter belongs to the State Quarters 1999-2008 series. The U.S. Mint produced 361.6 million examples, making this ranked 6th of 10 mint variants by mintage, with 11% of production. The obverse features George Washington facing left, based on a 1786 bust by Jean-Antoine Houdon and the reverse displays unique designs representing each of the 50 U.S. states, released in the order of statehood ratification. The reverse features a fiddle, guitar, and trumpet alongside a musical score, with the inscription "Musical Heritage" and three stars representing the state's three grand divisions. Each instrument symbolizes a regional musical tradition from East, Central, and West Tennessee. Tennessee, Ohio, Louisiana, Indiana, and Mississippi. Strong collector participation continued. Philadelphia's mint — the nation's first — has produced coins without interruption since its founding in 1792. Estimated market value ranges from $0 to $2 depending on grade and condition. Struck in 75% copper, 25% nickel, weighing 5.67 grams, 24.3 mm in diameter, with a reeded edge. Cataloged as PCGS #14004.
