The obverse features George Washington facing left, based on a 1786 bust by Jean-Antoine Houdon and the reverse displays unique designs representing each of the 50 U.S. states, released in the order the states ratified the Constitution or joined the Union. The 2000 quarters honored, in release order, Massachusetts, Maryland, South Carolina, New Hampshire, and Virginia. The program drove an estimated 147 million Americans to collect quarters. Struck in 75% copper, 25% nickel, 24.3 mm in diameter, with a reeded edge. Across its variants, estimated values range from $0 to $26 depending on mint mark, grade, and strike type. A notable auction result reached $3.8K in MS69 grade at Heritage Auctions. Designed by John Flanagan (obverse, modified by William Cousins in 1999) / various state-specific reverse designers.
