2022 Dr. Sally Ride Quarter: Facts and History

The 2022 Dr. Sally Ride quarter is a landmark release in the American Women Quarters Program, serving as the second coin in the series. It honors Dr. Sally Ride, the physicist and astronaut who became the first American woman in space in 1983.

The reverse design, created by Elana Hagler and sculpted by Phebe Hemphill, captures a profound moment: Dr. Ride in her NASA flight suit, looking out the space shuttle’s window toward Earth.

2022 Dr. Sally Ride American Women Quarter Errors for the Great American Coin Hunt!

For coin hunters, the Sally Ride quarter has several distinct minting errors. One of the most sought-after is the “Vomit Comet” die clash, a rare error where the obverse and reverse dies collided without a planchet in between, causing Washington’s profile to appear “ghosted” onto the reverse window.

High-grade examples of this clash have been valued at over $2,000. Other notable varieties include the “Ghost Comet” (a trail-like die clash near the Earth), the “Drooling George” die chip near Washington’s mouth, and the “In COD We Trust” error found on Denver strikes, where a grease-filled die obscured the “G” in God.
