2008 (P) Oklahoma State Quarter - CU-25c-2008P-01(OK) Rim Cud

Description

As a rim cud for the 2008 Philadelphia Oklahoma State Quarter, CU-25c-2008P-01(OK) belongs to the final year of the original 50 State Quarters Program. Oklahoma's reverse features the Scissor-Tailed Flycatcher soaring over Indian blanket wildflowers — a naturalistic composition that stands apart from the architectural themes chosen by many other states. A rim cud represents the loss of part of the die's rim gutter: on struck coins it appears as a raised interruption in the design rim that tracks the rim's course. The 2008 program year closed out the circulating commemorative initiative, with Oklahoma joined by New Mexico, Arizona, Alaska, and Hawaii as the final five entries. Oklahoma was admitted as the forty-sixth state in 1907, and its century-plus anniversary roughly coincided with its appearance in the quarter program's concluding year.
