1999 New Jersey Quarter Rolls - P and D - Uncirculated

In December 1997, America's most adventurous coin program became a reality when President Clinton signed legislation authorizing the U.S. Mint to issue the innovative 50 State Quarters collection. Starting in January 1999, each of the 50 states in the Union will be honored on a unique Quarter Dollar commemorative coin. Five states will be featured each year, based on the order in which they ratified the Constitution or became states. Due to the aggressive minting schedule, each State Quarter will be minted for only about 10 weeks. As a result, mintages of each quarter only are to be just a fraction of the "normal" quarters are. Regular issue coins will be minted at both the Philadelphia and the Denver Mints. On the front, otherwise known as the obverse, the specific mintmarks can be found to the right of George Washington's portrait. The small "P" indicates the Philadelphia Mint and the small "D" refers to the Denver.

New Jersey is the third coin honored in the State Quarter Program. New Jersey ratified the Constitution on December 18, 1787.The New Jersey commemorative quarter features a rendering of George Washington crossing the Delaware River. Also shows Washington standing in his boat accompanied by members of the Colonial Army. Of special note, the obverse also features a portrait of George Washington - making this a rare example of a circulating coin honoring the same person on both the obverse and the reverse. The only other example in American coinage is the Lincoln Cent with the Lincoln Memorial on the reverse.

Each 40-coin roll of State Quarters from the Philadelphia and Denver Mints are in brilliant Uncirculated condition.
