About this Product

Full Product Name

North Dakota was the fourth of five state quarters to be released by the U.S. Mint in 2006. It was also the 39th coin in the overall collection that will eventually honor all 50 states. North Dakota followed the Nevada, Nebraska, and California coins in 2006 and will be followed by the South Dakota coin. Although North Dakota is considered the 39th state and South Dakota the 40th state, it is not known in which order President Benjamin Harrison signed the papers admitting the two states. The winning coin design features two grazing buffalo - with a sunset view of the buttes and canyons of the states Badlands region in the background. The North Dakota State Quarter was officially launched on August 30, 2006 at a ceremony hosted by Governor John Hoeven in Bismarck.

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. 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.
