Description

The 2008 (D) Hawaii State Quarter is a quarter minted at the Denver Mint, within the State Quarters 1999-2008 series. The U.S. Mint produced 263.6 million examples, making this ranked 9th of 10 mint variants by mintage, with 11% of 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 King Kamehameha I with his right arm extended toward the eight major Hawaiian Islands, with the state motto "Ua Mau ke Ea o ka Aina i ka Pono." Kamehameha unified the Hawaiian Islands into one kingdom in the early 1800s. Oklahoma, New Mexico, Arizona, Alaska, and Hawaii. Final year of the 50 State Quarters Program. The DC and Territories program followed in 2009. Denver's mint evolved from a frontier assay office into one of the nation's primary coin production facilities, opening in 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 #39049.
