Description
The 2001 (P) North Carolina State Quarter was struck at the Philadelphia Mint as a quarter in the State Quarters 1999-2008 series. The Philadelphia Mint struck 627,600,000 North Carolina 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 recreates the Wright Brothers' first powered flight at Kitty Hawk on December 17, 1903, with the inscription "First Flight." This 12-second, 120-foot journey launched the age of modern aviation. 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 #5968.
