About this Product

Full Product Name

The Kansas State Quarter was the fourth of five coins in the 2005 set of America's State Quarters. It was also the 34th coin in the overall collection. The design of Kansas features the buffalo and sunflower. The buffalo was named the state animal in 1955, while the sunflower became the official state flower in 1903. The images of a buffalo and sunflower represent the state's history and natural beauty.

This uncirculated Philadelphia Mint 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.
