Utah State Quarter Design

Furthermore, “The last quarter released in 2007 honors Utah, the 45th state and the 45th quarter in the 50 State Quarters Program. Utah’s quarter features two trains facing the golden spike that joined the tracks of the Central Pacific and Union Pacific railroads in 1869 at Promontory, Utah.

The state’s population grew quickly after the railroad was built and the mining industry blossomed. Technological changes like the railroad soon caused industry to replace farming as the base of Utah’s economy.

The newly-laid track made it possible for people to cross the continent of North America by rail. Furthermore, this was the easiest and cheapest way to travel in the days before cars and airplanes.

Moreover, it linked the East to West by train and changed both the Utah Territory and the rest of the nation forever. For this Utah gained the title “Crossroads of the West.”

Utah’s Governor Jon M. Huntsman, Jr., announced the choice for the quarter design at the 137th anniversary of the Joining of the Rails at Promontory on May 10, 2006.” – usmint.gov

History of the Susan B. Anthony Coin

Coins featuring Susan B. Anthony were first issued by the United States Mint in 1979. Moreover, it replaced the Eisenhower Dollar. Furthermore, it was the first time a woman other than lady liberty appeared on a circulating coin. However, it wasn’t popular in circulation. As a result, it only has only four dates. Susan B Anthony dollar dollar coins were minted from 1979 to 1981, and in 1999.

Collectible 1979 Dollar Coins

Originally, the coin was not popular among the public due to it to its likeness to the quarter dollar. Furthermore, it made it easily mistaken for a quarter and accidentally spent as one. However, it makes for a fine collectible coin. Additionally, the various varieties add to the excitement of collecting them.

The Right of Women to Vote

Susan B. Anthony was an American social reformer and women’s rights activist. In other words, she played a pivotal role in the women’s suffrage movement. Moreover, she willfully marched to the voting polls and cast her vote. This was at a time when women weren’t permitted to vote.

After casting her vote, Susan was arrested and charged for breaking the law. In August of 2020 Susan B. Anthony received a posthumous pardon by President Donald J. Trump. The pardoning placed the spotlight on the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment, which secured the right for women to vote in America.

However, this wonder woman “wore her conviction as a badge of honor.” Susan died in 1906 before the 19th Amendment became law. Furthermore, the Susan B. Anthony Museum decided to reject the pardon in spirit of her defiance.

Moreover, proof blanks get special treatment. They’re carefully packaged to preserve and showcase an exceptional finish.”- usmint.gov

Why Proof Coins Are More Valuable

“Proof coins have a higher relative mark-up than uncirculated coins. Furthermore, proofs sell for more than face value as collector’s items. However, they cost more than uncirculated coins to purchase.” That’s why it’s uncommon to find them in circulation.

Moreover, proof coin production moved from Philadelphia to San Francisco in 1968. It’s where all proof coins gain the “S” mint mark. Proofs subsequently made at West Point carry the “W” mint mark.

Proof Coins are Collectibles

The S mint mark is meant as collectors coins However sometimes proof coins wind up in circulation. Kudos to their finders! An impaired proof “ is a proof coin that grades less than PR-60; a circulated proof.” – coins.thefuntimesguide.com

“Because of the extra effort, time, labor and production costs in making a proof coin, the respective government mints often sell them at higher prices. The end result is that usually, but not always, a proof coin of the same date will be more expensive than a non-proof uncirculated.”

Furthermore, observe the sold listings of 2015-s Bombay Hook Delaware quarters on Ebay to get an idea of current mark value. Keep an eye for listings on Amazon.com as well.
