Description

A quarter from the Denver Mint, the 2005 (D) West Virginia State Quarter belongs to the State Quarters 1999-2008 series. The Denver Mint struck 356,200,000 West Virginia quarters dated 2005. 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 the New River Gorge Bridge spanning the New River. The bridge, completed in 1977, is one of the longest steel arch bridges in the Western Hemisphere at 3,030 feet long, standing 876 feet above the river. The 2005 quarters honored, in release order, California, Minnesota, Oregon, Kansas, and West Virginia. Satin finish specimens from mint sets were produced. 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 $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 #14043.
