About This Tool

The US quarter has undergone more design changes than almost any other circulating coin. Our Quarter Identifier covers every Washington quarter from 1932 to the present, including all 50 State Quarters (1999–2008), the District of Columbia and US Territories quarters (2009), the America the Beautiful National Parks quarters (2010–2021), the American Women quarters (2022–2025), and the Semiquincentennial reverse (2026). For each quarter, the AI identifies the date, mint mark, state or design, and any valuable varieties.
