What is a 2024-S Dr. Pauli Murray 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 (168 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 Dr. Pauli Murray design

Pauli Murray (1910 to 1985) was a lawyer, poet, scholar and priest whose legal arguments shaped civil rights and women's rights law. Her 1951 book States' Laws on Race and Color became a key resource for lawyers challenging segregation. She helped found the National Organization for Women in 1966 and in 1977 became the first African American woman ordained an Episcopal priest. The reverse frames her face within the word HOPE, accompanied by a line from her poem Dark Testament. Emily Damstra designed it and Joseph Menna 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.
