About this Product

Full Product Name

Rhode Island was the last of the original 13 colonies to ratify the Constitution, and therefore the 13th coin in the Americas State Quarter Series. It is also the third State Quarter of 2001.The Rhode Island State Quarter honors Rhode Island as the Ocean State. It features a vintage sailboat in the Narragansett Bay, with the Pell Bridge that connects Newport to Jamestown in the background.

Each uncirculated quarter is layered 7 times in pure platinum. 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. The mint marks can be found to the right of George Washington's portrait on the obverse: the small "P" indicates the Philadelphia Mint and the small "D" refers to the Denver.
