Quick answers
- Is the 2001-P Vermont Quarter rare?
- Not by date: 423 million were struck. A sharp uncirculated coin or a known variety is what makes one special.
- Is the 2001-P 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 P, for Philadelphia.
- How many 2001-P Vermont Quarter coins were made?
- 423,400,000.
What to check on your 2001-P
- Make sure the mint mark really is a P. A worn or filled mark can be misread. It's what separates your coin from the 2001-D (459 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 423 million made, the 2001-P 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-P Vermont
Philadelphia made 423,400,000 of the Vermont quarter. Among the 5 designs of 2001 it was the middle Philadelphia run, between Rhode Island (423 million) and North Carolina (628 million).
Denver struck a similar number of the same design (459 million), so neither mint's version is much harder to find.
Across the whole program it sits 41st of 50 Philadelphia designs by mintage, where the scarcest is Iowa at 214 million.
More on the 2001-P
Philadelphia struck 423,400,000 Vermont quarters, 400,000 more than its Rhode Island and about 36 million fewer than Denver's Vermont. That made Vermont the middle Philadelphia design of 2001, well behind New York and North Carolina. Of the 2001 quarters, only Kentucky and Rhode Island had smaller Philadelphia runs.
Vermont ran as an independent republic from 1777 until it joined the Union in 1791, which is why the fourteenth state was also the first admitted after the original thirteen. That date, 1791, appears on the coin. Twenty-one years after this quarter, Vermont chose snowboarding for its Innovation dollar, so the state has now celebrated both a traditional and a modern way to spend time in its mountains. On a Philadelphia coin, look for clean, unbroken luster in the sky above Camel's Hump, where marks are easy to see. Then check the sap buckets for sharp edges. Worn coins are face value; bright uncirculated ones carry a small premium. Coins from original rolls are the best source for a clean one.
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.
