Description

Part of the State Quarters 1999-2008 series, the 2003 (D) Missouri State Quarter is a quarter from the Denver Mint. The U.S. Mint produced 228.2 million examples, making this ranked 6th of 10 mint variants by mintage, with 10% 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 shows Lewis and Clark in a canoe on the Missouri River with the Gateway Arch rising before them and the inscription "Corps of Discovery 1804–2004." Missouri was the launching point for the Lewis and Clark Expedition and the gateway to the American West. Illinois, Alabama, Maine, Missouri, and Arkansas. Some state designs attracted controversy over their selections. Denver's mint evolved from a frontier assay office into one of the nation's primary coin production facilities, opening in 1906. 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 #14021.
