About this Product

Full Product Name

Maryland was the seventh state to ratify the United States Constitution on April 28, 1788 and is therefore the seventh state to be honored on a unique coin in the Americas 50 State Quarter Program Collection. The Maryland Quarter features the state nickname together with the Maryland State House dome in Annapolis. The Maryland coin design also features sprigs of white oak on the left and right sides to signify and represent the Maryland state tree.

Each uncirculated quarter is layered 7 times in pure 24 karat gold. Each coin is encapsulated to protect it's condition.

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.
