Description

The 2003 (P) Missouri State Quarter was struck at the Philadelphia Mint as a quarter in the State Quarters 1999-2008 series. The U.S. Mint produced 225 million examples, making this ranked 2nd 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. The Philadelphia Mint, America's oldest coin-making facility, has struck coins continuously since 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 #14020.
