What is a 2024-S Celia Cruz 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 2024-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 2024-P (150 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 2024 come with and without frosted devices. Coins with strong contrast are labeled Cameo or Deep Cameo and are worth more.
How to recognize it
The Celia Cruz design
Celia Cruz (1925 to 2003), born in Havana, became known as the Queen of Salsa. She rose to fame in the 1950s as lead singer of La Sonora Matancera, then left Cuba in 1960 and built her career in the United States. Recording with the Fania All-Stars among others, she won several Grammy awards along with the National Medal of Arts in 1994. The reverse shows her smiling while performing in a rumba-style dress, beside her catchphrase AZÚCAR, Spanish for sugar. Phebe Hemphill designed and sculpted it.
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.
