Description

The 2004 (D) Iowa State Quarter represents a Denver Mint issue from the State Quarters 1999-2008 series. The Denver Mint struck 251,800,000 Iowa quarters dated 2004. 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 features a one-room schoolhouse with a teacher and students planting a tree, inspired by Grant Wood's painting, with the inscription "Foundation in Education." The design celebrates Iowa's deep commitment to education. The 2004 quarters honored, in release order, Michigan, Florida, Texas, Iowa, and Wisconsin. Two 2004-D Wisconsin varieties show an extra leaf on the corn stalk, one high and one low. Coined at Denver's facility, which transitioned from processing Colorado gold rush metal to full-scale coin production in 1906. Estimated market value ranges from $0.25 to $217 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 #14031.
