Description

The 2001 (D) Kentucky State Quarter, struck at the Denver Mint, is part of the State Quarters 1999-2008 collection. The U.S. Mint produced 370.6 million examples, making this ranked 2nd of 10 mint variants by mintage, with 8% of production. 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 of statehood ratification. The reverse shows Federal Hill mansion at My Old Kentucky Home State Park, where Stephen Foster composed the state song, with a thoroughbred racehorse standing behind a fence. The design honors Kentucky's twin traditions of Southern hospitality and world-renowned horse racing. New York, North Carolina, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Kentucky. Proof and silver proof sets became major revenue sources for the Mint. The Denver Mint, which grew from an 1860s gold rush assay office, has served as a major production facility since 1906. Estimated market value ranges from $0 to $6 depending on grade and condition. Struck in 75% copper, 25% nickel, weighing 5.67 grams, 24.3 mm in diameter, with a reeded edge. Cataloged as PCGS #14003.
