Description

The 2008 (D) Arizona State Quarter, struck at the Denver Mint, is part of the State Quarters 1999-2008 collection. The U.S. Mint produced 265 million examples, making this the highest mintage among 10 variants, accounting for 11% of the year's 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 Grand Canyon with the saguaro cactus in the foreground and a banner reading "Grand Canyon State." The Grand Canyon is one of the seven natural wonders of the world. Oklahoma, New Mexico, Arizona, Alaska, and Hawaii. Final year of the 50 State Quarters Program. The DC and Territories program followed in 2009. The Denver Mint, which grew from an 1860s gold rush assay office, has served as a major production facility since 1906. 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 #39045.
