Description
Produced at the Philadelphia Mint, the 2006 (P) South Dakota State Quarter is part of the State Quarters 1999-2008 series. The U.S. Mint produced 245 million examples, making this the lowest mintage among 10 mint variants, representing only 8% 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 features a Chinese ring-necked pheasant in flight above the Mount Rushmore National Memorial, bordered by heads of wheat. The design pairs South Dakota's most famous landmark with the state bird. Nevada, Nebraska, Colorado, North Dakota, and South Dakota. Philadelphia's mint — the nation's first — has produced coins without interruption since its founding in 1792. Estimated market value ranges from $0 to $3 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 #39028.
