What is a 2002-D Ohio Quarter worth?
Worn examples are worth face value and can be spent. Keep it only if it looks uncirculated or shows a known variety.
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 2002-D Ohio Quarter rare?
- No. 415 million were made, a typical run for the series. Condition and varieties decide its value, not the date.
- Is the 2002-D Ohio 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 2002 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 2002-D Ohio Quarter coins were made?
- 414,832,000.
What to check on your 2002-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 2002-P (217 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 2002-S Ohio Quarter Proof (3,084,245 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 415 million made, the 2002-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 2002-D Ohio
Denver made 414,832,000 of the Ohio quarter. That was the biggest Denver run of the 5 designs issued in 2002; Tennessee had the smallest at 286 million.
Philadelphia struck fewer of the same design (217 million), which makes the 2002-P the scarcer of the pair.
Across the whole program it sits 39th of 50 Denver designs by mintage, where the scarcest is Oklahoma at 195 million.
How to recognize it
The Ohio design
An early aircraft and a spacesuited astronaut appear over an outline of the state, with the inscription BIRTHPLACE OF AVIATION PIONEERS. Ohio claims a long list of flight pioneers, including the Wright brothers of Dayton and the astronauts John Glenn and Neil Armstrong. The aircraft recalls the early flying machines the brothers built and tested in and around Dayton. Ohio entered the Union in 1803, the year on the coin. It was the second State quarter of 2002.
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.
