Description

Produced at the Philadelphia Mint, the 2001 (P) Kentucky State Quarter is part of the State Quarters 1999-2008 series. The Philadelphia Mint struck 353,000,000 Kentucky quarters dated 2001. 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 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. The 2001 quarters honored, in release order, New York, North Carolina, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Kentucky. Proof and silver proof sets became major revenue sources for the Mint. Estimated market value ranges from $0.25 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.
