1999-D New Jersey Quarter

Occasionally I miss a new coin that comes out or I misplace it. Looking over my state quarter collection I noticed I was missing the 1999 Denver version of the New Jersey quarter. It took a while to find another in my change but here it is, ignore the low grade I will upgrade if I can.

Perfect coin for this time of year as it depicts Washington crossing the Delaware River on December 25-26, 1776. Of course this is an image based n the famous painting and probably inaccurate. I mean who would stand on a small boat during a storm.

The people on the boat are meant to be a cross section of Americans and may secretly include a Scottish man, a man of African descent, and a woman in disguise among others.

Here's the stats...
Type/Country: 25 Cents-New Jersey / United States
Year: 1999 D
Mintage: 299,028,000
Metal: 91.67% Copper 8.33% Nickel
Value: $0.25 in F-12

Do you have a state quarter and want to know its value? Leave a comment/question and I will do my best to find out the price and history for you.

Hi, I found a 2001-P Quarter this past week that is not showing any copper clad in the center of the coin. It is definitely not silver and is the same diameter and weight of any other state quarter. Are you aware of any foreign coins minted at the the mint around that time. It looks like a wrong planchet. I can't find anything on this one.

Off-Metal errors exist for nearly every type of coin.

I would have it weighed on a 0.01 gram scale and also looked by an expert in hand.
