In 1999, the coin world witnessed a revolutionary new issue. With interest in US coinage waning, The US Mint designed a new coin series, as a way of spurring interest in its coinage - which had seen relatively few changes in design in the past 50 years. The result was The State Quarters Programme, an ambitious programme which would be on-going over 10 years. In 1999, the first five quarters were issued, each quarter represented one of the first five states to ratify the constitution and join the union; Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Georgia and Connecticut.
Now, you have the opportunity to own the first issue of the programme which has re-invigorated collectors' interest worldwide and has since been mimicked across the world. These historic state quarters have been superbly finished with the addition of 24 Carat Gold Plating.
