Description

Produced at the Philadelphia Mint, the 2001 (P) Kentucky State Quarter is part of the State Quarters 1999-2008 series. The U.S. Mint produced 353 million examples, making this the lowest mintage among 10 mint variants, representing only 7% of total 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. Coined at the Philadelphia facility, the nation's original mint that has operated continuously since its 1792 founding. 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 #14002.
