Description

The 2003 (P) Maine State Quarter, struck at the Philadelphia Mint, is part of the State Quarters 1999-2008 collection. The U.S. Mint produced 217.4 million examples, making this the lowest mintage among 10 mint variants, representing only 10% 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 depicts the Pemaquid Point Lighthouse standing on rocky shores with a schooner under full sail. The lighthouse, built in 1827, together with the schooner symbolize Maine's rich maritime heritage and rugged coastal identity. Illinois, Alabama, Maine, Missouri, and Arkansas. Some state designs attracted controversy over their selections. Philadelphia's mint — the nation's first — has produced coins without interruption since its founding in 1792. Estimated market value ranges from $0 to $2 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 #14018.
