What is a 2001-D Vermont Quarter worth?
A worn 2001-D Vermont is a spender: face value. A bright uncirculated one, or one with a known error, is worth setting aside.
What would make yours worth more:
- Uncirculated condition with full original luster
- A die variety or minting error
For market prices, check recent sold results for certified coins in the same grade.
Quick answers
- Is the 2001-D Vermont Quarter rare?
- Not by date: 459 million were struck. A sharp uncirculated coin or a known variety is what makes one special.
- Is the 2001-D Vermont Quarter silver?
- No. It's copper core clad in 75% copper / 25% nickel. Quarters dated 1964 and earlier are 90% silver.
- Where is the mint mark on a 2001 50 State Quarter?
- On the obverse, to the right of Washington's ponytail (P, D or S). On this coin the mark is D, for Denver.
- How many 2001-D Vermont Quarter coins were made?
- 459,404,000.
What to check on your 2001-D
- Make sure the mint mark really is a D. A worn or filled mark can be misread. It's what separates your coin from the 2001-P (423 million made).
- Proof or circulation strike? A proof has mirror-like fields and frosted design details and was sold to collectors, not released in change. The 2001-S Vermont Quarter Proof (3,094,140 made) is the one to compare with.
- A face that's fully copper colored could be a missing clad layer error. Patchy discoloration is usually damage.
- Judge the grade under good light. State quarters are judged mainly on luster and contact marks. Look for die varieties and errors, which carry the real premiums in this series.
With 459 million made, the 2001-D still turns up in everyday change. Keep yours only if it looks uncirculated or shows a variety; otherwise it's worth face value.
The story of the 2001-D Vermont
Denver made 459,404,000 of the Vermont quarter. Among the 5 designs of 2001 it was the second largest Denver run, between Rhode Island (447 million) and New York (620 million).
Philadelphia struck a similar number of the same design (423 million), so neither mint's version is much harder to find.
Across the whole program it sits 42nd of 50 Denver designs by mintage, where the scarcest is Oklahoma at 195 million.
More on the 2001-D
Denver struck 459,404,000 Vermont quarters, about 36 million more than Philadelphia's 423,400,000, making the D the more plentiful version. It was the second largest Denver issue of 2001 after New York (655,400,000), ahead of Rhode Island, North Carolina and Kentucky. Denver's Vermont run also beat its Kentucky total by nearly 89 million.
Vermont's quarter was the fourth release of 2001. Its sap buckets point to an industry the state still leads: Vermont produces more maple syrup than any other state. The trees, buckets and Camel's Hump all carry fine detail, so they show the strike well. On a sharp Denver coin the branches look distinct and the buckets have clean edges. Wear hits the tops of the trees and the mountain's ridge first. The motto FREEDOM AND UNITY along the edge of the design should be crisp too. A worn 2001-D is face value. An uncirculated coin with bright luster and few marks carries a small premium, nothing more, since so many were saved.
How to recognize it
The Vermont design
Maple trees fitted with sap buckets stand in the foreground of this design, with Camel's Hump Mountain rising behind them. The state motto FREEDOM AND UNITY runs along the edge. Vermont is known for its maple syrup, made from sap that farmers have long gathered in buckets each spring. Camel's Hump is one of the state's best-known peaks in the Green Mountains. Vermont became the fourteenth state in 1791, the year on the coin.
The 50 State Quarter design
To make room for each state design, the obverse was rearranged: UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, LIBERTY, IN GOD WE TRUST and QUARTER DOLLAR all moved to the side with Washington's portrait. The reverse shows the state's design with its name, the year it joined the Union or ratified the Constitution, the year of issue and E PLURIBUS UNUM. The mint mark is to the right of Washington's ponytail.
