What to check on your 2001-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 2001-P (423 million made).
- 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.
Proofs from 2001 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 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.
