What is a 2022-S Wilma Mankiller Quarter Proof worth?
Age alone gives this coin a small premium, even worn. Sharp details and original surfaces push it higher.
What would make yours worth more:
- Grade and, for proofs, strong cameo contrast
- A die variety or minting error
For market prices, check recent sold results for certified coins in the same grade.

What to check on your 2022-S
- Make sure the mint mark really is an S. A worn or filled mark can be misread. It's what separates your coin from the 2022-D (297 million made).
- Judge the grade under good light. Modern quarters are graded on luster, strike and marks. Proofs are judged on cameo contrast.
Proofs from 2022 come with and without frosted devices. Coins with strong contrast are labeled Cameo or Deep Cameo and are worth more.
The story of the 2022-S Wilma Mankiller
Elsewhere in US coinage in 2022
The American Women quarters program began, alongside a new obverse portrait of Washington by Laura Gardin Fraser.
How to recognize it
The Wilma Mankiller design
Wilma Mankiller (1945 to 2010) was the first woman to serve as principal chief of the Cherokee Nation, leading it from 1985 to 1995. During her tenure she focused on community development, health care and education. Her leadership earned her the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1998. The reverse shows her wrapped in a traditional shawl, gazing forward with the wind at her back, beside the seven-pointed star of the Cherokee Nation. The words CHEROKEE NATION appear in the Cherokee syllabary along with PRINCIPAL CHIEF.
The American Women Quarter design
The obverse shows a new portrait of George Washington by Laura Gardin Fraser, originally submitted in the 1931 design competition. Each reverse honors a woman who shaped American history, with her name and the words UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, E PLURIBUS UNUM and QUARTER DOLLAR. Five honorees were issued each year from 2022 to 2025.
