You will receive the 90% proof silver state quarter in a plastic flip. These coins were minted at the San Francisco mint. A complete roll of (40) 90% Silver Proof State Quarters will contain a total of 7.2336 oz of silver bullion. All of these coins were pulled from sealed US Mint silver proof sets and extreme care was taken not to touch or contaminate the 90% Proof Silver quarter in any way. To preserve their condition, these coins were placed in a plastic tube holder and were extracted from the original slabs using cotton gloves. These coins were only inspected to verify the year and count. They were not inspected to cull for cameos, deep cameos, variations, toned coins or mint errors. Expect to receive a mix of mostly gem proofs and a few toned/discolored/tarnished coins. The roll was comprised of a random inventory of 40 silver state quarter slabs and thus that is what you will receive. The older the coins, the more likely it is to receive toned/discolored or tarnished coins. The photo attached to this listing is a stock photo, but a representation as to what you will receive. The 50 state quarters were released by the United States Mint every ten weeks, or five each year. They were released in the same order that the states ratified the Constitution. Each quarter’s reverse commemorated one of the 50 states with a design emblematic of its unique history, traditions and symbols. Certain design elements, such as state flags, images of living persons, and head-and-shoulder images of deceased persons were prohibited. The authorizing legislation and Mint procedures gave states a substantial role and considerable discretion in determining the design that would represent their state. The majority of states followed a process by which the governor solicited the state’s citizens to submit design concepts and appointed an advisory group to oversee the process. Governors submitted three to five finalist design concepts to the secretary of treasury for approval. States usually employed one of two approaches in making this selection. In 33 states, the governor selected the final recommended design, often based on the recommendations of advisory groups and citizens. US Mint engravers applied all final design concepts approved by the secretary of treasury. The media and public attention surrounding this process and the release of each state’s quarter was intense and produced significant publicity for the program. The State Quarters Program was the most popular commemorative coin program in United States history; the United States Mint has estimated that 147 million Americans have collected state quarters and 3.5 million participated in the selection of state quarter designs. By the end of 2008, all of the original 50 states quarters had been minted and released. Demand was stronger for quarters issued early in the program. This was due to weakening economic conditions in later years and the waning of the initial surge of demand when the program was launched. Another factor was the reassertion of the Treasury Department’s opposition to the program. When the director’s term ended in 2000, the Treasury proceeded to reduce and finally terminate the most effective elements of the Mint’s promotional program despite the high return on investment they earned. There is believed to be a “curse” relating to the sites and landmarks featured on the reverse of the quarters; misfortune of some sort has afflicted 17 of the depicted designs. Among the most notable are the Old Man of the Mountain rock formation, which collapsed three years after being featured on the New Hampshire quarter, and the Maryland State House, which was struck by lighting that caused a fire that was promptly extinguished.
